I think the commit subject is wrong.
It adds an "of" specific bit to vsprintf.c.
The subject should be
'vsprintf:  Add %p extension "%pO" for device tree'

Somehow I think this example is poor as node->full_name
is a pretty obvious to read use. %pOF requires you to
look up or know what the output is going to be.

Some comments about the code.

This is recursive. How many levels of parents could there be?
Perhaps there should be a recursion limit.

Does this work with %p<len>OF for a right justified or padded
length string? Perhaps widen_string should be added.

why not
while (isalpha(*++fmt))
like ip6 or isalnum like FORMAT_TYPE_PTR uses?

I'd try to avoid all uses of snprintf as it's effectively
another fairly
large stack frame.

It's probably better to avoid more recursion stack depth use
and just use *buf++ as appropriate.
