This patch fixes a defect introduced during the merge window.
Some of the logging messages used %pM to emit a MAC address.
%pM outputs "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" %pm output "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
When the message forms were standardized, strings were lower cased, introducing this defect.

I think it's unnecessary to rehash them.
