[PATCH v1] ipmi: use %*ph to print small buffer

From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Fri Oct 11 2019 - 10:52:18 EST


From: Andy Shevchenko <andy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxx>

Use %*ph format to print small buffer as hex string.

The change is safe since the specifier can handle up to 64 bytes and taking
into account the buffer size of 100 bytes on stack the function has never been
used to dump more than 32 bytes. Note, this also avoids potential buffer
overflow if the length of the input buffer is bigger.
