The CDC-ECM specification requires an USB gadget to send the host MAC

Why cc stable?

I believe the second patch matches the criteria but it uses this one.

The diffstat here, or for some other patch in the same series,
definitely ought to mention lib/test_printf.c.

This seems broken, and I'm surprised the compiler doesn't warn about
separator possibly being uninitialized further down. I'm also surprised
your testing hasn't caught this. For reference, the full switch
statement is currently

         switch (fmt[1]) {
         case 'F':
                 separator = '-';
                 break;

         case 'R':
                 reversed = true;
                 fallthrough;

         default:
                 separator = ':';
                 break;
         }

I think this becomes quite hard to follow. We have string_upper() in
linux/string_helpers.h, so I'd rather just leave this loop alone and do

   if (uppercase)
     string_upper(mac_addr, mac_addr);

after the nul-termination.
