[PATCHv3 7/7] checkpatch: add pF/pf deprecation warning

From: Sergey Senozhatsky <hidden>
Date: 2017-09-30 02:55:00
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: checkpatch, the rest · Maintainers: Andy Whitcroft, Joe Perches, Linus Torvalds

We deprecated '%pF/%pf' printk specifiers, since '%pS/%ps' is now smart
enough to handle function pointer dereference on platforms where such
dereference is required.

checkpatch warning example:

WARNING: Deprecated vsprintf pointer extension '%pF' - use %pS instead
