From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Using a string variable as an sprintf format is potentially dangerous, and gcc can warn about this: drivers/gpio/gpio-virtuser.c: In function 'gpio_virtuser_dbgfs_init_line_attrs': drivers/gpio/gpio-virtuser.c:808:9: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security] 808 | sprintf(data->consumer, id); | ^~~~~~~ Change this instance to use a "%s" format instead to print the string argument.
