Subject: sysfs_format_mac
I assume that the only reason sysfs_format_mac() exists at all, and
don't just use scnprintf() calls with "%pm\n", is that some devices
have MAC addresses which are not 6 bytes in length.
But it's such a waste to have this special case piece of code
just for that.
It would make so much more sense to allow specifying a length
specifier to %pm and friends.
