More likely John Linville just missed the conversions.
4+ years ago.

commit 9387b7caf3049168fc97a8a9111af8fe2143af18
Author: John W. Linville <linville@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    wireless: use individual buffers for printing ssid values
  
    Also change escape_ssid to print_ssid to match print_mac semantics.
    
    Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Maybe these days this should be another vsprintf %p extension
like %pM when the DECLARE_MAC_BUF/print_mac uses were converted.

(or maybe extend %ph for ssids with %*phs, length, array)

But if and until then, I suggest this instead:
