Hi Sakari,

The printk family of functions supports %ps and %pS conversion specifiers
to print function names. Yet the deprecated %pf and %pF conversion
specifiers with equivalent functionality remain supported. A number of
users of %pf and %pF remain.

This patchsets converts the existing users of %pf and %pF to %ps and %pS,
respectively, and removes support for the deprecated %pf and %pF.

The patches apply cleanly both on 5.1-rc1 as well as on Linux-next. No new
%pf or %pF users have been added in the meantime so the patch is
sufficient as itself on linux-next, too.
Do you know in which commit they became deprecated, so the backporters
know how far this can be backported safely?

Thanks!
