This series looks good to me.

I can queue it up to kbuild tree
if there is no objection.


I just noticed one nit.

Now that modpost_log() is the only user of PRINTF,
we can delete PRITNF, and directly add the attribute
to modpost_log(), like this:


void __attribute__((format(printf, 2, 3)))
modpost_log(enum loglevel loglevel, const char *fmt, ...)
{
       ...
}


If you agree, I can modify it when I apply it.


Thank you.
