So, here's a radical thought. How about we reserve '%pO' for objects, as
in kobjects.  We'll use extra flags to narrow down specifically to
device tree nodes, but we could teach vsprintf() to treat a plain '%pO'
as plain kobject pointer, and if it is able to recognize the kobj_type,
then run a specific decoder to format it.

This also gives us a namespace for various kinds of firmware data
output. %Od could be a struct device, %On for device tree node, %Oa for
an ACPI node, etc.

s/isspace()/!isalnum() to match with what the pointer() function does
when finding the end of a format string.

As far as I can tell from the code, the only thing that 2 passes is used
for is when the LEFT spec.flags value is not set. Instead of doing two,
what if the code generated the string right-aligned, and then if the
LEFT flag is set, shift it over the required amount, ' ' padding as
necessary? In fact, that's exactly what the dentry_name() helper does.

This is a complicated enough block of code, that I'd like to see
unittests for it added at the same time.

...

So, I'm keen enough on this feature that I've just gone ahead and played
with it this morning. The following is what I've come up with. I got rid
of the two passes, fixed up the boundary conditions, and added
unittests. I've also switched the format key to %pOn, and the separator
to ':'. ':' is never a valid character in a node name, so it should be
safe to use as a delimiter.

I've dropped the refcount decoder. I know it is useful for debugging the
core DT code, but it isn't something that will be used generally. Plus
the returned value cannot be relied upon to be stable because there may
be other code currently iterating over the tree.

of: Custom printk format specifier for device node

90% of the usage of device node's full_name is printing it out
in a kernel message. Preparing for the eventual delayed allocation
introduce a custom printk format specifier that is both more
compact and more pleasant to the eye.

For instance typical use is:
	pr_info("Frobbing node %s\n", node->full_name);

Which can be written now as:
	pr_info("Frobbing node %pOn\n", node);

More fine-grained control of formatting includes printing the name,
flag, path-spec name, reference count and others, explained in the
documentation entry.
