Trivial comments:

Odd Reviewed-on: and Tested-by: lines.
The intel.com link does not resolve here too.

As far as I know, there are very few in-kernel uses of
__printf after the function prototype (6 out of 183).

$ git grep -E "\b__printf\s*\(\s*\w+\s*,\s*\w+\s*\)\s*;" | wc -l
6
$ git grep -E "\b__printf\s*\(\s*\w+\s*,\s*\w+\s*\)" | wc -l
183

I'd prefer to keep the __printf before the return type.
