Andy Shevchenko Nov. 13, 2018, 5:17 p.m. UTC
There are users which print time and date represented by content of
struct rtc_time in human readable format.

Instead of open coding that each time introduce %ptR[dt][rv] specifier.

Note, users have to select PRINTK_PEXT_TIMEDATE option in a Kconfig.

This bit should be removed as it's not true anymore.

Oops, right.

I think you should drop the validation option. This is only used in a
deprecated ABI and is mostly wrong as many RTCs will still be valid
after 2100.

Same here, this doesn't protect February, April, June, September and
November. There is one RTC that think that 31st of November is valid.

Some RTCs will consider 60 valid. So, really, instead of fixing all of
those, I'd just get rid of the validation option.

I'd go for ISO 8601 and use a 'T' here.

I will follow all recommendations.
New version coming soon...

+Time and date (struct rtc_time)
+-------------------------------
+
+::
+
+	%ptR		YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS
+	%ptRd		YYYY-mm-dd
+	%ptRt		HH:MM:SS
+	%ptR[dt][rv]
+
+For printing date and time as represented by struct rtc_time structure in
+human readable format.
+
+By default year will be incremented by 1900 and month by 1. Use %ptRr (raw)
+to suppress this behaviour. On the other hand when %ptRv is applied
+validation mechanism will be in use, i.e. numbers out of range will be
+replaced by ** or ****.
