Some general comments:
- as pointed out by YUNOMAE-san we need a constant for the buffer. And
I'd also like to see a comment why exactly you're chosing 80 for it.
- I'd really like to see some worst case stack usage analysis of the
old vs the new case.

The buffer variable should be inside the "if (debug)" here.

cdb_len == 0 is only passed in from __scsi_print_command. But as far
as I can tell all of it's caller have it easily available, so we should
just pass it in and get rid of this special case.

This doesn't print anything now, but just formats the CDB, so it
should be called format_opcode_name. Also as a convention pass
buf and buf_len as the first two arguments similar to s*printf,
and fix up the formatting for the cdbp argument. Can you please
just run your next series through checkpatch?

Rename this to scsi_format_command, pass buf and buf_len as first two
argument, and as mention earlier pass in the cdb length as well.

Why?
