When building with Clang we encounter the following warning: | drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt7601u/eeprom.c:193:5: error: format | specifies type 'char' but the argument has type 'int' [-Werror,-Wformat] | chan_bounds[idx].start + chan_bounds[idx].num - 1); Variadic functions (printf-like) undergo default argument promotion. Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst specifically recommends using the promoted-to-type's format flag. Moreover, C11 6.3.1.1 states: (https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1548.pdf) `If an int can represent all values of the original type ..., the value is converted to an int; otherwise, it is converted to an unsigned int. These are called the integer promotions.` With this information in hand, we really should stop using `%hh[dxu]` or `%h[dxu]` as they usually prompt Clang -Wformat warnings as well as go against documented standard recommendations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
