In this case I think it would be best to stay consistent with the rest
of the dcb app code. All priority mappings are printed using the
dcb_app_print_filtered() (now also the pcp-prio), which creates an
array, for whatever reason. 

If you are OK with this, I will go ahead and create v4, with the print
warning removed.
