Linux kernel source tree
GCC 14.2.0 reports that passing a non-string literal as the
format argument of dev_set_name() is potentially insecure.
drivers/s390/net/ism_drv.c: In function 'ism_probe':
drivers/s390/net/ism_drv.c:615:2: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Wformat-security]
615 | dev_set_name(&ism->dev, dev_name(&pdev->dev));
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
It seems to me that as pdev is a PCIE device then the dev_name
call above should always return the device's BDF, e.g. 00:12.0.
That this should not contain format escape sequences. And thus
the current usage is safe.
But, it seems better to be safe than sorry. And, as a bonus, compiler
output becomes less verbose by addressing this issue.
Compile tested only.
No functional change intended.

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 reStructuredText 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.
