I think these unrelated changes should be in 4 patches:
1 - add annotation to check the format string against the arguments
    (linux/compiler.h should be added here)
2 - add missing linux/printk.h header for struct va_format
    Note that I think a forward declaration is more appropriate here, as
    we only use pointers to this struct in this file, we never try to
    look inside. On the other hand:
3 - drm_print.c needs the header in drm_printf(), but as a separate
    patch
4 - convert dev_printk to dev_info (you need to include linux/device.h
    there)

You can add my r-b on all four patches when you send them to the list :)

Cheers,
  Eric
