Unfortunately you can't fix this in the kunit-next tree without pulling
in Linus' tree (or the drm-fixes tree) - which seems excessive.

My mistake, I misread the merge commit. It has not been fixed in the
drm-misc-fixes tree or the drm-fixes tree (or Linus' tree since the
drm-fixes tree has been merged there) :-(

The problem in this case is not with the format string types, but with
a missing argument i.e. there is another argument required by the
format string. It really should be fixed in the drm-misc-fixes tree
and sent to Linus post haste.

At least the change in the kunit-next tree will stop this happening in
the future.
