FWIW, currently we luckily have only one ABI case
drivers/power/supply/bq24190_charger.c:466
which luckily uses unsigned value for that specifier.

The rest is debug and error messages along with tracepoints.
The tracepoints might have an undesired, but not critical,
deviation. Nevertheless, promoting sign for hex values seems
to me the wrong suggestion.
