I like it very much, just have some comments about the format.

'flags' are u16 and the whole range is needed -> %04x
'addr' is u16 and either 7 or 10 bits are needed. The core does the
following when assigning names because it is possible to have devices
0x50 (7-bit) and 0x050 (10-bit) on the bus:
/* For 10-bit clients, add an arbitrary offset to avoid collisions */
dev_set_name(&client->dev, "%d-%04x", i2c_adapter_id(adap),
client->addr | ((client->flags & I2C_CLIENT_TEN)
? 0xa000 : 0));
I don't know if this can be implemented. Actually, I don't think it
needs to be implemented since flags are printed, too. So, with this the
10-bit case is visible and for the address simply %03x should do.
And for the buffer: %*phN is difficult to read IMO. What about %*ph? Or
%*phD at least?
Thanks,
Wolfram
