printk: add %p6 format specifier for IPv6 addresses
Takes a pointer to a IPv6 address and formats it in the usual colon-separated hex format: xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx Each 16 bit word is printed in network-endian byteorder. %#p6 is also supported and will omit the colons. %p6 is a replacement for NIP6_FMT and NIP6() %#p6 is a replacement for NIP6_SEQFMT and NIP6() Note that NIP6() took a struct in6_addr whereas this takes a pointer to a struct in6_addr.
