When building with Clang we encounter these warnings:
| drivers/ntb/hw/idt/ntb_hw_idt.c:2409:28: error: format specifies type
| 'unsigned char' but the argument has type 'int' [-Werror,-Wformat]
| "\t%hhu-%hhu.\t", idx + cnt - 1);
-
| drivers/ntb/hw/idt/ntb_hw_idt.c:2438:29: error: format specifies type
| 'unsigned char' but the argument has type 'int' [-Werror,-Wformat]
| "\t%hhu-%hhu.\t", idx + cnt - 1);
-
| drivers/ntb/hw/idt/ntb_hw_idt.c:2484:15: error: format specifies type
| 'unsigned char' but the argument has type 'int' [-Werror,-Wformat], src);
For the first two warnings the format specifier used is `%hhu` which
describes a u8. Both `idx` and `cnt` are u8 as well. However, the
expression as a whole is promoted to an int as you cannot get
smaller-than-int from addition. Therefore, to fix the warning, use the
promoted-to-type's format specifier -- in this case `%d`.
example:
``
uint8_t a = 4, b = 7;
int size = sizeof(a + b - 1);
printf("%d\n", size);
// output: 4
```
For the last warning, src is of type `int` while the format specifier
describes a u8. The fix here is just to use the proper specifier `%d`.
See more:
(https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/INT02-C.+Understand+integer+conversion+rules)
"Integer types smaller than int are promoted when an operation is
performed on them. If all values of the original type can be represented
as an int, the value of the smaller type is converted to an int;
otherwise, it is converted to an unsigned int."

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
