net: txgbe: Pass string literal as format argument of alloc_workqueue()
Recently I noticed that both gcc-14 and clang-18 report that passing a non-string literal as the format argument of clkdev_create() is potentially insecure. E.g. clang-18 says: .../txgbe_phy.c:582:35: warning: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Wformat-security] 581 | clock = clkdev_create(clk, NULL, clk_name); | ^~~~~~~~ .../txgbe_phy.c:582:35: note: treat the string as an argument to avoid this 581 | clock = clkdev_create(clk, NULL, clk_name); | ^ | "%s", It is always the case where the contents of clk_name is safe to pass as the format argument. That is, in my understanding, it never contains any format escape sequences. However, it seems better to be safe than sorry. And, as a bonus, compiler output becomes less verbose by addressing this issue as suggested by clang-18. Compile tested only.
