This is actually the part of the patch that I was least sure about doing. I'm happy to revert, can I give you my thought process for comment? When the kernel-docs get included into printk-formats.rst it seems overly verbose to have all the information given twice. And then it seems odd to bother having the extra descriptions in printk-formats.rst if _all_ the required information is already in the kernel-docs? So I guessed that it would be nice for devs to get a bit of a hint at the specifiers when having lib/vsprintf.c open (and they have the code too) then if they needed more information going to printk-formats.rst. Also, since there is more space in printk-fomats.rst the info can be spaced better and easier to read. Your thoughts? thanks, Tobin.
