From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Using a string literal as a format string is a possible bug when the string contains '%' characters: drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c:2813:48: error: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Werror,-Wformat-security] 2813 | gdev->line_state_wq = alloc_ordered_workqueue(dev_name(&gdev->dev), | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c:2813:48: note: treat the string as an argument to avoid this 2813 | gdev->line_state_wq = alloc_ordered_workqueue(dev_name(&gdev->dev), | ^ | "%s", Do as clang suggests and use a trivial "%s" format string.
