Is %p4cc really acceptable here?

The original code printed only the 4 characters. The original code
would print something like:

  index=21, type=bla, flags=0x0, pixelformat=BG12, mbus_code=0x0a9f, descrition="bla bla bla"

while the new code will do:

  index=21, type=bla, flags=0x0, pixelformat=BG12 little-endian (0x32314742), mbus_code=0x0a9f, descrition="bla bla bla"

This is much harder to parse because there are spaces also inside pixel_format=<value>
