Because they're so _very_ rarely used in decimal form.
printk.c, drivers/base/core.c, and net/core/dev.c
sensibly use - '0', and I think dynamic_debug is the
only other current user.
I suppose a new inline could be created something like
static inline int printk_get_level_decimal(const char *level)
{
if (printk_get_level(level)) {
switch (level[1]) {
case '0' ... '7':
return level[1] - '0';
}
}
return -1;
}
