That's a fair point, but Clang checks the arguments against their
format specifier before they're promoted when using -Wformat. When
considering integer promotions it's difficult to say if this is
"wrong", but since 'unsigned char' corresponds to the "hh" length
specifier I don't think this is misguided. Otherwise, why use the "h"
length specifier at all?

Agreed, so I guess my previous comment is irrelevant in this scenario.
