[PATCH v3 1/3] lib/vsprintf: Add support for generic FourCCs by extending %p4cc

[Aditya Garg]

From: Hector Martin <marcan@marcan.st>

%p4cc is designed for DRM/V4L2 FourCCs with their specific quirks, but
it's useful to be able to print generic 4-character codes formatted as
an integer. Extend it to add format specifiers for printing generic
32-bit FourCCs with various endian semantics:

%p4ch	Host byte order
%p4cn	Network byte order
%p4cl	Little-endian
%p4cb	Big-endian

The endianness determines how bytes are interpreted as a u32, and the
FourCC is then always printed MSByte-first (this is the opposite of
V4L/DRM FourCCs). This covers most practical cases, e.g. %p4cn would
allow printing LSByte-first FourCCs stored in host endian order
(other than the hex form being in character order, not the integer
value).

[PATCH v3 3/3] drm/appletbdrm: use %p4cl instead of %p4cc

[Aditya Garg]

From: Aditya Garg <gargaditya08@live.com>

Due to lack of a proper printk format, %p4cc was being used instead of
%p4cl for the purpose of printing FourCCs. But the disadvange was that
they were being printed in a reverse order. %p4cl should correct this
issue.

That's basically the term (`man printf`) everybody knows.
