    lib/vsprintf: Remove atomic-unsafe support for %pCr · 666902e4
    Geert Uytterhoeven authored
    "%pCr" formats the current rate of a clock, and calls clk_get_rate().
    The latter obtains a mutex, hence it must not be called from atomic
    context.
    
    Remove support for this rarely-used format, as vsprintf() (and e.g.
    printk()) must be callable from any context.
    
    Any remaining out-of-tree users will start seeing the clock's name
    printed instead of its rate.
