Subject: netlink: fix missing headers in text output
Origin: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/ethtool/ethtool.git/commit?id=b70c928661024cd07914feb49122275daab904ea
The commit under fixes added a NULL-check which prevents us from
printing text headers. Conversions to add JSON support often use:
print_string(PRINT_FP, NULL, "some text:\n", NULL);
to print in plain text mode.
Correct output:
Channel parameters for vpn0:
Pre-set maximums:
RX: n/a
TX: n/a
Other: n/a
Combined: 1
Current hardware settings:
RX: n/a
TX: n/a
Other: n/a
Combined: 0
With the buggy patch:
Channel parameters for vpn0:
RX: n/a
TX: n/a
Other: n/a
Combined: 1
RX: n/a
TX: n/a
Other: n/a
Combined: 0
Fixes: fd328ccb3cc0 ("json_print: add NULL check before jsonw_string_field() in print_string()")
