Subject: [PATCH v3 01/21] lib/vsprintf: Add specifier for printing struct timespec64
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 15:32:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251113150217.3030010-2-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251113150217.3030010-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>
A handful drivers want to print a content of the struct timespec64
in a format of %lld:%09ld. In order to make their lives easier, add
the respecting specifier directly to the printf() implementation.
