Clang warns:

1 warning generated.
We can convert from gnu_printf to printf without any side effects for
two reasons:
1. All iavf_debug instances use standard printf formats, as pointed out
by Miguel Ojeda at the below link, meaning gnu_printf is not strictly
required.
2. However, GCC has aliased printf to gnu_printf on Linux since at least
2010 based on git history.
From gcc/c-family/c-format.c:
/* Attributes such as "printf" are equivalent to those such as
"gnu_printf" unless this is overridden by a target. */
static const target_ovr_attr gnu_target_overrides_format_attributes[] =
{
{ "gnu_printf", "printf" },
{ "gnu_scanf", "scanf" },
{ "gnu_strftime", "strftime" },
{ "gnu_strfmon", "strfmon" },
{ NULL, NULL }
};
The mentioned override only happens on Windows (mingw32). Changing from
gnu_printf to printf is a no-op for GCC and stops Clang from warning.

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.
