This misses examples of the (strange) escaping cases and wiped
whitespaces to make sure everybody understands that 'D 12' will be the
same as 'D1 2' (side note: which I disagree on, perhaps something
should be added into documentation why).
I discussed this with Hans and we concluded spaces shouldn't be dropped.

Spaces can be present in the codes themselves in any case.
Great!

Do we have any evidence / document / standard that the above format is
what people would find good? From existing practices (I consider other
printings elsewhere and users in this series) I find '(xx)' form for
hex numbers is weird. The standard practice is to use \xHH (without
parentheses).
Earlier in the review it was proposed that special handling of codes below
32 should be added, which I did. Using the parentheses is apparently an
existing practice elsewhere.
Where? \xHH is quite well established format for escaping. Never heard about
'(xx)' variant before this very series.
What about using the same approach as drm_get_format_name()?
I mean printing '?' when the character is not printable.
The exact value is printed later anyway.

The advantage is that it will always printk 4 characters.
"?" can be expanded by the shell. We (me and Hans) both though a dot (".")
would be good. These aren't going to be present in valid fourcc codes in
any case.
The dot (".") looks fine to me.

Best Regards,
Petr
