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.
