[PATCH] [v2] media: platform: amd: avoid -Wformat-security warning

From: Arnd Bergmann

Date: Fri May 08 2026 - 08:47:14 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

The newly added kthread_run() call passes a string variable as an sprintf()
style format, which gcc warns about when -Wformat-security is enabled:

drivers/media/platform/amd/isp4/isp4_subdev.c: In function 'isp4sd_start_resp_proc_threads':
include/linux/kthread.h:71:16: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
71 | struct task_struct *__k \
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/media/platform/amd/isp4/isp4_subdev.c:596:38: note: in expansion of macro 'kthread_run'
596 | thread_ctx->thread = kthread_run(isp4sd_fw_resp_thread,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~

Use an indirect "%s" format to do this safely, avoiding the warning.
