This patch fixes a W=1 format-string warning reported by GCC 12.3.0

by annotating xenbus_switch_fatal() and xenbus_va_dev_error()

with the __printf attribute. The attribute enables compile-time

validation of printf-style format strings in these functions.


The original warning trace:

drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_client.c:304:9: warning: function 'xenbus_va_dev_error' might be

a candidate for 'gnu_printf' format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format]

I'm fine with the changes as such, but please send the patch as a
plain text email (no HTML). Otherwise I'm not able to apply it.

You should look into Documentation/process/email-clients.rst in the
kernel source tree.
