Subject[PATCH v7 15/25] scripts: checkpatch: diagnose uses of `%pA` in the C side
Date
The `%pA` format specifier is only intended to be used from Rust.

`checkpatch.pl` already gives a warning for invalid specificers:

WARNING: Invalid vsprintf pointer extension '%pA'

With this change, we introduce an error message with further
explanation:

ERROR: '%pA' is only intended to be used from Rust code
