Yup, this worked.

I have pushed the patch into printk.git for-4.17 branch,
see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk.git/commit/?h=for-4.17&id=33251b634b4aa1317e2f911e3b723179949a0605


Greentime Hu,

the for-4.17 branch in printk.git is based on Linus' tree. Therefore
I had to remove the hunk against arch/nds32/kernel/traps.c because
this file is only in linux-next.

I think that it might be easier if you remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL()
in your branch. Is it OK for you, please?

Best Regards,
Petr
