[PATCH v2 0/2] vsprintf: remove redundant %pCn format specifier

[Luca Ceresoli <luca.ceresoli@bootlin.com>]

There are two printk format specifiers for clocks: %pC and %pCn, and they
print exactly the same string. Geert confirmed the intended reason for
having two was that %pC would act as a default, like some (but not all)
formats do. However there seem to be no advantage in having two instead of
one, especially now that there is no other %pC specifier since commit
666902e42fd8 ("lib/vsprintf: Remove atomic-unsafe support for %pCr").

Definitely having two without properly documenting they do the same creates
misunderstandings [0].

Since %pCn is used in a single place, replace it with %pC and remove %pCn
to simplify such format specifiers implementation and avoid
misunderstandings.
