From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

gcc-10 warns about some printf format strings that are used to
unconditionally print a NULL string pointer from some call
sites:

In function 'evergreen_surface_check',
    inlined from 'evergreen_cs_track_validate_stencil' at drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/evergreen_cs.c:592:6,
    inlined from 'evergreen_cs_track_check' at drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/evergreen_cs.c:995:8:
include/linux/dev_printk.h:156:24: error: '%s' directive argument is null [-Werror=format-overflow=]
  156 |  dev_printk_index_wrap(_dev_warn, KERN_WARNING, dev, dev_fmt(fmt), ##__VA_ARGS__)

This is harmless here because the kernel prints them as "(null)", but
still breaks the build when compiling with -Werror.

Pass empty strings instead to avoid these warnings.
