Public bug reported:
man dmesg states under the '-d, --show-delta' section:
Display the timestamp and the time delta spent between messages. If
used together with --notime then only the time delta without the
timestamp is printed.
This is not sufficient: --notime or -t has to be used BEFORE -d switch,
otherwise also the delta times will be removed from output.
