after see the comments for function pointer in lib/vsprintf.c
sorry for I do not think it is suitable to add ssid in vsprintf
all formate features in vsprintf are face to kernel wide, not for one sub system
one exception is for mac and ip:
they have already been well known in kernel wide
every one knows about mac and ip.
I feel, our ssid is not quite well known in kernel wide
maybe current place (net/wireless/) is not quite suitable for print_ssid:
for bluetooth, it is not belong to net/wireless.
if necessary, I suggest to reconstruct it within net sub system wide, not in kernel wide.
(it is also my fault for my original reply, it is not quite clear)
