This code emphasizes that there is actually only one format available
and needs to be changed again when another one is added. Why not

void (*write_output)((FILE *, char[], char[], char, unsigned int,
unsigned int) = write_human;

? Then ...

case 'f':
    if (streq(optarg, "tmpfiles")) {
         write_output = write_tmpfiles;
    }
    else {
        fprintf(stderr, "Unknown format: '%s'.\n", argv[1]);
        [...]
    }
    break;

And in the end:

write_output(out, module, devname, type, maj, min);

Maybe even add an array with output name and function pointer pairs, so
that we could get a list of available formats using --format=?. For
consistency, --format=human should also work. Just seems nicer to me, in
case someone actually plans to extend this later.
