Merge tag 'printk-for-5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Make %pK behave the same as %p for kptr_restrict == 0 also with
   no_hash_pointers parameter

 - Ignore the default console in the device tree also when console=null
   or console="" is used on the command line

 - Document console=null and console="" behavior

 - Prevent a deadlock and a livelock caused by console_lock in panic()

 - Make console_lock available for panicking CPU

 - Fast query for the next to-be-used sequence number

 - Use the expected return values in printk.devkmsg __setup handler

 - Use the correct atomic operations in wake_up_klogd() irq_work handler

 - Avoid possible unaligned access when handling %4cc printing format
