How do I convert dmesg timestamp to custom date format?

Understanding dmesg timestamp is pretty simple: it is time in seconds since the kernel started. So, having time of startup (uptime), you can add up the seconds and show them in whatever format you like.

Or better, you could use the -T command line option of dmesg and parse the human readable format.

From the man page:

-T, --ctime
    Print human readable timestamps. The timestamp could be inaccurate!

    The time source used for the logs is not updated after system SUSPEND/RESUME.
