To avoid any possible defect in the content of pixfmt, it's
probably better to use vsprintf extension "%4pE", &pixfmt
see: Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst

	vpfe_dbg(1, vpfe, "%s: if_type: %d, pixfmt:%4pE\n",
		 __func__, ccdc->ccdc_cfg.if_type, &pixfmt);

	vpfe_dbg(1, vpfe, "pixelformat: %4pE\n",
		 &vpfe->v_fmt.fmt.pix.pixelformat);

etc...
