[PATCH 2/2] devres: Improve devm_kasprintf()/kvasprintf() support

[Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx>]

  - Add devm_kasprintf()/kvasprintf(), introduced by commit
    75f2a4ead5d5890ada9c2663a70fb58613c0d9f2 ("devres: Add
    devm_kasprintf and devm_kvasprintf API"), to
    Documentation/driver-model/devres.txt,
  - Improve kernel doc: the string is not an existing formatted string,
    but is formatted into the newly-allocated buffer,
  - Add a __printf() annotation to devm_kasprintf(), so the compiler
    will verify the format string argument types.
