It only does this when DEBUG_LL is enabled - at which point you have
printascii, printhex8, etc available (although there's no prototype
for them.)

You could use snprintf() to format a message and then use printascii()
(conditional on CONFIG_DEBUG_LL as the existing code does) as well as
printk("%s", buffer).  That means if you have a debugger you can dump
the kernel ring buffer and see the message, or see it via the serial
port/debugging channel if DEBUG_LL is enabled.
