Not necessary. It was just a trivial size saving
from the format deduplication.
There is another dmesg info line
dev_info(sfp->dev, "module %.*s %.*s rev %.*s sn %.*s dc %.*s\n",
(int)sizeof(id.base.vendor_name), id.base.vendor_name,
(int)sizeof(id.base.vendor_pn), id.base.vendor_pn,
(int)sizeof(id.base.vendor_rev), id.base.vendor_rev,
(int)sizeof(id.ext.vendor_sn), id.ext.vendor_sn,
(int)sizeof(id.ext.datecode), id.ext.datecode);
the next line later which shows that it's a "COTSWORKS ".
