Subject: [PATCH] bus: mhi: core: debugfs: Use correct format specifiers for addresses

For exposing the addresses of read/write pointers and doorbell register,
let's use the correct format specifiers. This fixes the following issues
generated using W=1 build in ARM32 and reported by Kbuild bot:

All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>):

Documentation/printk-formats.txt seems to point out that %px is
"insecure" and thus perhaps not preferred. Are we assuming that debugfs
is only accessible by root, and thus the %px usage here is effectively
the same as %pK?

No, this debugfs entry can be read by non-root users also. But the idea here
is to effectively show the addresses to everyone so I don't think we need to
hide it. The term "insecure" applies to kernel log where exposing the address
doesn't make much sense (except for few obvious reasons).

How, the mount point of debugfs is restricted to root only :)

Why does normal users need to see a kernel address? What can they do
with this? Why can't we use the "normal" hashed way of showing a kernel
address instead?
