Hi all,

This set adds support for %p4cc printk modifier for printing V4L2 and DRM
fourcc codes. The codes are cumbersome to print manually and by adding the
modifier, this task is saved from the V4L2 and DRM frameworks as well as
related drivers. DRM actually had it handled in a way (see 3rd patch) but
the printk modifier makes printing the format easier even there. On V4L2
side it saves quite a few lines of repeating different implementations of
printing the 4cc codes.

Further work will include converting the V4L2 drivers doing the same, as
well as converting DRM drivers from drm_get_format_name() to plain %p4cc.
I left these out from this version since individual drivers are easier
changed without dealing with multiple trees.

If DRM folks would prefer to convert drivers to %p4cc directly instead I
have no problem dropping the 3rd patch. Nearly all uses in DRM are in
printk family of functions that can readily use %p4cc instead of the
current arrangement that relies on caller-allocated temporary buffer.

Since v5:

- Added V4L2 core conversion to %p4cc, as well as change the DRM
  fourcc printing function to use %p4cc.

- Add missing checkpatch.pl checks for %p4cc modifier.

Thank you for an update with the examples how current users will be
converted. Below review is based on the users I had seen so far and
assumptions made in this code. I see that it's tagged by maintainers,
but I can't help to comment again on this. In any case the decision is
up to them.

This misses examples of the (strange) escaping cases and wiped
whitespaces to make sure everybody understands that 'D 12' will be the
same as 'D1 2' (side note: which I disagree on, perhaps something
should be added into documentation why).

Do we have any evidence / document / standard that the above format is
what people would find good? From existing practices (I consider other
printings elsewhere and users in this series) I find '(xx)' form for
hex numbers is weird. The standard practice is to use \xHH (without
parentheses).

None of the existing users does that. Why?

This is perfectly one line (in this file we have even longer lines).

I think would be nice if we could roll this out and outright delete
this one here ... Quick git grep says there's not that many, and %p4cc
is quite a bit shorter than what we have now.

Sounds good; I can submit patches for that but I think I'll do that once we
have the %p4cc modifier in.

But then the code suggests otherwise. Perhaps we need to extract
skip_trailing_spaces() from strim() and use it here.

Where? \xHH is quite well established format for escaping. Never heard about
'(xx)' variant before this very series.

Yes, you can. The problem is that we agreed with others to improve readability
by letting some lines to be longer, so the code can lie on one line rather be
broken on two or more.

I discussed this with Hans and we concluded spaces shouldn't be dropped.

Spaces can be present in the codes themselves in any case.

"?" can be expanded by the shell. We (me and Hans) both though a dot (".")
would be good. These aren't going to be present in valid fourcc codes in
any case.

Fair enough; I can violate the coding style a little in v7.

The dot (".") looks fine to me.
