From: Dwaipayan Ray <dwaipayanray1@gmail.com>
Subject: checkpatch: add warning for unnecessary use of %h[xudi] and %hh[xudi]
Modifiers %h and %hh should never be used.
Commit cbacb5ab0aa0 ("docs: printk-formats: Stop encouraging use
of unnecessary %h[xudi] and %hh[xudi]") specifies that:
"Standard integer promotion is already done and %hx and %hhx is useless
so do not encourage the use of %hh[xudi] or %h[xudi]."
"The "h" and "hh" things should never be used. The only reason for them
being used if you have an "int", but you want to print it out as a
"char" (and honestly, that is a really bad reason, you'd be better off
just using a proper cast to make the code more obvious)."
Add a new check to emit a warning on finding an unneeded use of %h or
%hh modifier.
Also add a fix option to the check.
