Let's quote the options and use the Oxford comma.
ls-files: introduce "--format" option
Add a new option "--format" that outputs index entries in a
custom format, taking inspiration from the option with the same
name in the `git ls-tree` command.
"--format" cannot used with "-s", "-o", "-k", "-t", "--resolve-undo",
"--deduplicate", and "--eol".

So we use the term "field" to mean different piece of information we
can present. The definition of what fields are available come later
and the presentation order is a bit awkward, but hopefully the text
is understandable as-is.

And the example makes it pretty clear. OK.

Are we dealing with unstructured fields, too? If not, let's drop

"outputting line" sounds like a non language.
The way each path is shown can be customized by using the
`--format=<format>` option, where the %(fieldname) in the
<format> string for various aspects of the index entry are
interpolated. The following "fieldname" are understood:

Since we are mutually exclusive with "--other", the output always
comes from the index, so this is OK.

This is not strictly needed (we have users of strbuf in this file
without this patch already), but OK.

A blank line here between the decl and the first statement.

It's the same thing, but strbuf_addstr() is less error prone.

I think this does not make "struct" and "void" align (one more SP needed).

Using skip_prefix() not for the purpose of skipping (notice that
nobody uses p at all) is ugly. We already computed start and end
(hence the length), so we should be able to do much better than
this.
But let's let it pass, as it was copy-pasted from existing code in
ls-tree.c::expand_show_tree().

This is outright wrong, isn't it?
It is unlikely to see such a trivial error in the 6th round of a
series after other reviewers looked at it many times, so perhaps I
am missing something? Or perhaps this is a new code added in this
round.
If you ask for %(eolinfo:index) for an index entry that is not a
regular file, this "else if" will not trigger, and the control will
eventually fall through to hit "bad ls-files format" but what you
detected is not a bad format at all. Once the skip_prefix() hits,
you should be committed to handle that "field" and never let the
other choices in this if/elif/ cascade to see it.
It is OK to interpolate %(eolinfo:index) to an empty string for a
gitlink and a symbolic link, but the right way to do so would
probably be:
else if (skip_prefix(start, "(eolinfo:index)", &p) {
if (S_ISREG(data->ce->ce_mode))
strbuf_addstr(...);
} else ...

Likewise.

Apparently, this set-up is too trivial to uncover the above bug that
can be spotted in 10 seconds of staring at the code. Perhaps add a
symbolic link (use "git update-index --cacheinfo" and you do not
have to worry about Windows), a subdirectory and a submodule?
