From: Bill Wendling <isanbard@xxxxxxxxx> When compiling with -Wformat, clang emits the following warnings: mm/backing-dev.c:880:57: error: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Werror,-Wformat-security] dev = device_create(bdi_class, NULL, MKDEV(0, 0), bdi, bdi->dev_name); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use a string literal for the format string.
