Subject: [PATCH 0/3] printf: Add struct range print specifier

Support for the Compute Express Link (CXL) Dynamic Capacity Devices
(DCD) have grown a number of uses to print struct range.[1]  Support for
a printf specifier '%pra' was being worked within a large series and has
garnered a number of comments and discussion.

To better accelerate both features introduce a separate series to settle
the struct range print enhancement divorced from the CXL DCD feature.

Struct range is used to store a number range similar to struct resource.
Printing struct range becomes cumbersome having to specify 2 specifiers
and the members of the struct.  Furthermore, print output benefits from
using a standardized format.

Add to the pointer specifier support for struct range.  Share code with
struct resource for more standardization.  Add tests for struct resource
to help prevent regressions.

%pra was settled on as the most reasonable format in previous
discussions.[2]
