Like gcc, clang-22 now also warns about a function that it
incorrectly identifies as a printf-style format:

lib/bug.c:190:22: error: diagnostic behavior may be improved by adding the 'format(printf, 1, 0)' attribute to the declaration of '__warn_printf' [-Werror,-Wmissing-format-attribute]
  179 | static void __warn_printf(const char *fmt, struct pt_regs *regs)
      | __attribute__((format(printf, 1, 0)))
  180 | {
  181 |         if (!fmt)
  182 |                 return;
  183 |
  184 | #ifdef HAVE_ARCH_BUG_FORMAT_ARGS
  185 |         if (regs) {
  186 |                 struct arch_va_list _args;
  187 |                 va_list *args = __warn_args(&_args, regs);
  188 |
  189 |                 if (args) {
  190 |                         vprintk(fmt, *args);
      |                                           ^

Turn off this warning for all compilers and versions.
