[PATCH 0/4] of: Convert to using %pOFn for node name printf

[Rob Herring]

This is the DT portion of converting node name printf's to use the 
%pOFn format specifier rather than device_node.name. Patches for other 
subsystems are independent and have been sent separately.

[PATCH 1/4] of/unittest: remove use of node name pointer in overlay high level test

[Rob Herring]

In preparation for removing the node name pointer, it needs to be
removed from of_unittest_overlay_high_level. However, it's not really
correct to use the node name without the unit-address and we should use
the full node name. This most easily done by iterating over the child
nodes with for_each_child_of_node() which is what of_get_child_by_name()
does internally. While at it, we might as well convert the outer loop to
use for_each_child_of_node() too instead of open coding it.

[PATCH 2/4] of/unittest: add printf tests for node name

[Rob Herring]

Add some printf test for printing the node name (without the
unit-address).

This seems to cause the modalias to be improperly constructed. As a
consequence, automatic module loading at boot time is now broken. I
think the reason why this fails is because vsnprintf() will skip all
alpha-numeric characters after a call to pointer(). Presumably this
is meant to be a generic way of skipping whatever specifiers we throw
at it.

Unfortunately for the case of OF modaliases, this means that the 'T'
character gets eaten, so we end up with something like this:

	# udevadm info /sys/bus/platform/devices/54200000.dc
	[...]
	E: MODALIAS=of:Ndc<NULL>Cnvidia,tegra124-dc
	[...]

instead of this:

	# udevadm info /sys/bus/platform/devices/54200000.dc
	[...]
	E: MODALIAS=of:NdcT<NULL>Cnvidia,tegra124-dc
	[...]

Everything is back to normal if I revert this patch. However, since
that's obviously not what we want, I think perhaps what we need is a
way for pointer() (and its implementations) to report back how many
characters in the format string it consumed so that we can support
these kinds of back-to-back strings.

If nobody else has the time I can look into coding up a fix, but in the
meantime it might be best to back this one out until we can handle the
OF modalias format string.

Oops. Thanks for finding this.

I don't think we can change it because if I have something like
%pOFMoreWords and then later on want to add 'M' as a new modifier we'd
break any existing cases with 'M'. Of course, I could search the tree
for that case and find unused characters, but that seems fragile
(though silently throwing away the characters does too).

There's an easy fix though. Just replace the 'T' with a '%c'.

I found one other case in the clock code and one in soundbus (which I
haven't posted yet).

Or just use 2 consecutive snprintf calls

	csize = snprintf(str, len, "of:N%pOFn", dev->of_node);
	csize += snprintf(str + csize, len - csize, "T%s",
			  dev->of_node->type);

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. Rob came up with another alternative
which is to output the 'T' via %c, which also works around the issue.
