Sorry.

What do you mean with "xyzprintk()"? Maybe you mean a regex-based
deviation using ".*printk\(.*\)"?
That would unnecessarily deviate "{,g}dprintk()" as you said.

Moreover, to cover also "vprintk_common", we would instead need something like
"^.*printk.*\(.*\)$".

I'm fine in using "^.*printk.*\(.*\)$", I just preferred the individual
whitelisting to avoid unwanted exclusions.

P.S:
using regex I cannot match only the name, but I have to match
the entire signature.
