Indeed, I wasn't aware of this either, apparently aaf07621b8bb
("vsprintf: add %pad extension for dma_addr_t use") introduced the
%pap form at the same time as %pad but made it the same as the already
existing %pa. I also see that the %pa form is a lot more common than
%pap, so it's probably better to go with %pa for new users anyway.
