Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/5] iscsi: bugfix for displaying IPv6 address

Notice that ip is a u8 *, so currently every other byte is
being truncated here.

I don't understand that bug description. The code looks OK to me?

Is the data format which sprintf_ipaddr() is parsing specific to iscsi?
If not, that helper function is generic and shouldn't be buried down
in drivers/firmware/iscsi_ibft.c?

If ip is a u8 * these ntohs are operating on bytes which is bogus, and
NIP6_FMT expects to get 8 u16s, not 8 u8s.
