[PATCHv2] vsprintf: Add %pMR for Bluetooth MAC address

From: Andrei Emeltchenko
Date: Mon May 28 2012 - 05:00:32 EST


From: Andrei Emeltchenko <andrei.emeltchenko@xxxxxxxxx>

Bluetooth uses mostly LE byte order which is reversed for visual
interpretation. Currently in Bluetooth in use unsafe batostr function.

This is slightly modified version of Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>
patch (sent Sat, Dec 4, 2010).
