If you just want ASCII > output, the caller should just use a printk or one of it's wrappers. Hexdump will 'sanitise' the ASCII. Although I think you'd want a 'no hex' flag to suppress the hex. Probably more useful flags are ones to suppress the address column. I've also used flags to enable (or disable) suppression of multiple lines of zeros of constant bytes. In that case you may want hexdump to return the flags for the next call when a large buffer is being dumped in fragments.
