/**
 * drm_get_format_name - fill a string with a drm fourcc format's name
 * @format: format to compute name of
 * @buf: caller-supplied buffer
 */
const char *drm_get_format_name(uint32_t format, struct drm_format_name_buf *buf)
{
	snprintf(buf->str, sizeof(buf->str),
		 "%c%c%c%c %s-endian (0x%08x)",
		 printable_char(format & 0xff),
		 printable_char((format >> 8) & 0xff),
		 printable_char((format >> 16) & 0xff),
		 printable_char((format >> 24) & 0x7f),
		 format & DRM_FORMAT_BIG_ENDIAN ? "big" : "little",
		 format);

	return buf->str;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(drm_get_format_name);

I'm not advocating for one approach or the other in this case, but we
should standardize 4CC printing between the two subsystems.
