The patch titled
Subject: lib/test_printf.c: test precision quirks
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
lib-test_printfc-test-precision-quirks.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: lib/test_printf.c: test precision quirks
The kernel's printf doesn't follow the standards in a few corner cases
(which are probably mostly irrelevant). Add tests that document the
current behaviour.
