The local variable i is used to iterate over unsigned
values. The lower bound of the loop is set to 0. While
the upper bound is cgx->lmac_count, where they lmac_count is
an u8. So the theoretical upper bound is 255.
As is, GCC can't see this range of values and warns that
a formatted string, which includes the %d representation of i,
may overflow the buffer provided.
GCC 15.1.0 says:
.../cgx.c: In function 'cgx_lmac_init':
.../cgx.c:1737:49: warning: '%d' directive writing between 1 and 11 bytes into a region of size between 4 and 6 [-Wformat-overflow=]
1737 | sprintf(lmac->name, "cgx_fwi_%d_%d", cgx->cgx_id, i);
| ^~
.../cgx.c:1737:37: note: directive argument in the range [-2147483641, 254]
1737 | sprintf(lmac->name, "cgx_fwi_%d_%d", cgx->cgx_id, i);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.../cgx.c:1737:17: note: 'sprintf' output between 12 and 24 bytes into a destination of size 16
1737 | sprintf(lmac->name, "cgx_fwi_%d_%d", cgx->cgx_id, i);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Empirically, changing the type of i from (signed) int to unsigned int
addresses this problem. I assume by allowing GCC to see the range of
values described above.
Also update the format specifiers for the integer values in the string
in question from %d to %u. This seems appropriate as they are now both
unsigned.
No functional change intended.
Compile tested only.

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.
