I wonder if this is sufficient.  There is a ton of other files which
use the %pM format:

        arch/arm/mach-davinci/misc.c
        board/BuR/common/common.c
        board/bct-brettl2/bct-brettl2.c
        board/keymile/common/ivm.c
        board/pdm360ng/pdm360ng.c
        board/spear/common/spr_misc.c
        drivers/net/dm9000x.c
        drivers/net/fec_mxc.c
        drivers/net/lan91c96.c
        drivers/net/ne2000_base.c
        drivers/net/sandbox.c
        drivers/net/smc91111.c
        drivers/net/smc911x.c
        drivers/usb/eth/asix.c
        drivers/usb/eth/asix88179.c
        drivers/usb/eth/mcs7830.c
        drivers/usb/eth/r8152.c
        drivers/usb/eth/smsc95xx.c
        drivers/usb/gadget/ether.c
        net/arp.c
        net/eth-uclass.c
        net/eth_common.c
        net/eth_legacy.c
        net/link_local.c
        net/net.c

Adding similar #ifdef's to all of these seems to be a really bad
idea to me.

Also, it would result in a lot of code duplication which is exactly
what the introduction of the %p? formats intends to avoid.

So hat we need here is a way to determin if the code for a given
configuration uses a specific %p? format, and then enable this even
with CONFIG_USE_TINY_PRINTF.

OTOH - what is the use case for CONFIG_USE_TINY_PRINTF in
combination with network related code?  I would expect to 
see this config option in memory restricted environments like SPL,
but there you don't include support for networking - or do you?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
