I've forward ported what I had.

Option 1:
	DECLARE_MAC_BUF(var);
 	printk(MAC_FMT, MAC_ARG(var, dev->dev_addr));

perhaps it looks nicer to remove the MAC_FMT and defines.

Option 2:
	DECLARE_MAC_BUF(mac);
	printk("%s", print_mac(mac, dev->dev_addr));

Option 3:
	char mac[PRINT_MAC_SIZE];
	printk("%s", print_mac(mac, dev->dev_addr));

Option 4:
	char mac[18];
	printk("%s", print_mac(mac, dev->dev_addr));

Preferences?
