%pC and %pCn print the same string, and commit 900cca2944 ("lib/vsprintf:
add %pC{,n,r} format specifiers for clocks") introducing them does not
clarify any intended difference. It can be assumed %pC is a default for
%pCn as some other specifiers do, but not all are consistent with this
policy. Moreover there is now no other suffix other than 'n', which makes a
default not really useful.
All users in the kernel were using %pC except for one which has been
converted. So now remove %pCn and all the unnecessary extra code and
documentation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
