Why cc stable?

The diffstat here, or for some other patch in the same series,
definitely ought to mention lib/test_printf.c.

This seems broken, and I'm surprised the compiler doesn't warn about
separator possibly being uninitialized further down. I'm also surprised
your testing hasn't caught this. For reference, the full switch
statement is currently

        switch (fmt[1]) {
        case 'F':
                separator = '-';
                break;

        case 'R':
                reversed = true;
                fallthrough;

        default:
                separator = ':';
                break;
        }

I think this becomes quite hard to follow. We have string_upper() in
linux/string_helpers.h, so I'd rather just leave this loop alone and do

  if (uppercase)
    string_upper(mac_addr, mac_addr);

after the nul-termination.
