[PATCH] ptp: drop redundant kasprintf() to create worker name

From: Rasmus Villemoes
Date: Fri Oct 26 2018 - 17:23:35 EST


Building with -Wformat-nonliteral, gcc complains

drivers/ptp/ptp_clock.c: In function âptp_clock_registerâ:
drivers/ptp/ptp_clock.c:239:26: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Wformat-nonliteral]
worker_name : info->name);

kthread_create_worker takes fmt+varargs to set the name of the
worker, and that happens with a vsnprintf() to a stack buffer (that is
then copied into task_comm). So there's no reason not to just pass
"ptp%d", ptp->index to kthread_create_worker() and avoid the
intermediate worker_name variable.
