Currently the following message is observed when the flexcan driver is probed: flexcan 2090000.flexcan: device registered (reg_base=(ptrval), irq=23) The reason for printing 'ptrval' is explained at Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst: "Pointers printed without a specifier extension (i.e unadorned %p) are hashed to prevent leaking information about the kernel memory layout. This has the added benefit of providing a unique identifier. On 64-bit machines the first 32 bits are zeroed. The kernel will print ``(ptrval)`` until it gathers enough entropy." Instead of passing %pK, which can print the correct address, simply remove the entire message as it is not really that useful.

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 Restructured Text 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.
