If variable is of Type,     use printk format specifier:
---------------------------------------------------------
        int         %d or %x
        unsigned int        %u or %x
        long            %ld or %lx
        unsigned long       %lu or %lx
        long long       %lld or %llx
        unsigned long long  %llu or %llx
        size_t          %zu or %zx
        ssize_t         %zd or %zx

Raw pointer value SHOULD be printed with %p.

u64 SHOULD be printed with %llu/%llx, (unsigned long long):

    printk("%llu", (unsigned long long)u64_var);

s64 SHOULD be printed with %lld/%llx, (long long):

    printk("%lld", (long long)s64_var);

If <type> is dependent on a config option for its size (e.g., sector_t,
blkcnt_t, phys_addr_t, resource_size_t) or is architecture-dependent
for its size (e.g., tcflag_t), use a format specifier of its largest
possible type and explicitly cast to it.  Example:

    printk("test: sector number/total blocks: %llu/%llu\n",
        (unsigned long long)sector, (unsigned long long)blockcount);

Reminder: sizeof() result is of type size_t.

Thank you for your cooperation and attention.
