[PATCH 4/7] lib/vsprintf: Add support for generic FOURCCs by extending %p4cc

From: Hector Martin <marcan at 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-endian
%p4cl	Little-endian
%p4cb	Big-endian
%p4cr	Reverse-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. %p4cr would
allow printing LSByte-first FOURCCs stored in host endian order
(other than the hex form being in character order, not the integer
value).

+Generic FourCC code
+-------------------
+
+::
+	%p4c[hnbl]	gP00 (0x67503030)
+
+Print a generic FourCC code, as both ASCII characters and its numerical
+value as hexadecimal.
+
+The additional ``h``, ``r``, ``b``, and ``l`` specifiers are used to specify
+host, reversed, big or little endian order data respectively. Host endian
+order means the data is interpreted as a 32-bit integer and the most
+significant byte is printed first; that is, the character code as printed
+matches the byte order stored in memory on big-endian systems, and is reversed
+on little-endian systems.
+
+Passed by reference.
+
+Examples for a little-endian machine, given &(u32)0x67503030::
+
+	%p4ch	gP00 (0x67503030)
+	%p4cl	gP00 (0x67503030)
+	%p4cb	00Pg (0x30305067)
+	%p4cr	00Pg (0x30305067)
