So, previously, unsupported 'O' would end up in ptr_to_id()

	case 'O':
		switch (fmt[1]) {
		case 'F':
			return device_node_string()
		}
	}

	return ptr_to_id();



now we will just return `buf' without doing ptr_to_id()?

	case 'O':
		return kobject_string();  // which does device_node_string()
					  // for fmt 'O' or return buf
					  // for unknown fmt.
	}

	return ptr_to_id();


Was this your intention?
