Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] vsprintf: Add upper case flavour to %p[mM]
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 12:34:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603104351.152085-2-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260603104351.152085-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>
Some of the (ABI aware) code needs an upper case when printing MAC
addresses. Introduce an extension for that into the existing %p[mM].
