Merge tag 'printk-for-5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Benjamin Herrenschmidt solved a problem with non-matched console
   aliases by first checking consoles defined on the command line. It is
   a more conservative approach than the previous attempts.

 - Benjamin also made sure that the console accessible via /dev/console
   always has CON_CONSDEV flag.

 - Andy Shevchenko added the %ptT modifier for printing struct time64_t.
   It extends the existing %ptR handling for struct rtc_time.

 - Bruno Meneguele fixed /dev/kmsg error value returned by unsupported
   SEEK_CUR.

 - Tetsuo Handa removed unused pr_cont_once().

... and a few small fixes.

* tag 'printk-for-5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux:
  printk: Remove pr_cont_once()
  printk: handle blank console arguments passed in.
  kernel/printk: add kmsg SEEK_CUR handling
  printk: Fix a typo in comment "interator"->"iterator"
  usb: pulse8-cec: Switch to use %ptT
  ARM: bcm2835: Switch to use %ptT
  lib/vsprintf: Print time64_t in human readable format
  lib/vsprintf: update comment about simple_strto<foo>() functions
  printk: Correctly set CON_CONSDEV even when preferred console was not registered
  printk: Fix preferred console selection with multiple matches
  printk: Move console matching logic into a separate function
  printk: Convert a use of sprintf to snprintf in console_unlock
