Subject: [PATCH] mediatek: mt76: eeprom: fix clang -Wformat warning

When building with Clang we encounter the following warning:
| drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt7601u/eeprom.c:193:5: error: format
| specifies type 'char' but the argument has type 'int' [-Werror,-Wformat]
| chan_bounds[idx].start + chan_bounds[idx].num - 1);

Variadic functions (printf-like) undergo default argument promotion.
Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst specifically recommends using
the promoted-to-type's format flag.

Moreover, C11 6.3.1.1 states:
(https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1548.pdf) `If an int
can represent all values of the original type ..., the value is
converted to an int; otherwise, it is converted to an unsigned int.
These are called the integer promotions.`

With this information in hand, we really should stop using `%hh[dxu]` or
`%h[dxu]` as they usually prompt Clang -Wformat warnings as well as go
against documented standard recommendations.
