[RFC PATCH 7/7] drivers: hwmon: add runtime format string checking

From: Rasmus Villemoes
Date: Fri Oct 26 2018 - 19:24:25 EST


With -Wformat-nonliteral, gcc complains

drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c: In function âhwmon_genattrâ:
drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c:282:6: warning: format not a string literal, argument types not checked [-Wformat-nonliteral]
index + hwmon_attr_base(type));

Add a runtime check to ensure that the template indeed has a single %d
printf specifier. Using fmtcheck() also makes gcc verify that the
expression 'index + hwmon_attr_base(type)' is suitable for %d.
