[PATCH v2] printf: Remove unused 'bprintf'

[PATCH v2] printf: Remove unused 'bprintf'

[linux]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <linux@treblig.org>

bprintf() is unused. Remove it. It was added in the commit 4370aa4aa753
("vsprintf: add binary printf") but as far as I can see was never used,
unlike the other two functions in that patch.

Looks good to me:

Acked-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>

I assume that Sven is going to take it via the ftrace tree as he
suggested at https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241002104807.42b4b64e@gandalf.local.home

Best Regards,
Petr

Yeah, since I'm basically the only user of it, it's best it goes through my
testing.

Sorry, it wasn't in my patchwork and was missed. I can add it and Linus
may even take it after -rc1. Or I'll have it in iinux-next for the next
merge window.

It's not a big change, and Linus likes removal of code. I'll send it to
him now and let him decide to take it or not. It passed all my tests.
