Cover letter [PATCH 0/3] Improve readbility of NVME "wwid" attribute
Quoted 5 lines · Martin Wilck

That was my first approach to the issue. But then I realized that the term "WWID" is ususally associated with a hex string.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Name), so allowing arbitrary ASCII might violate some people's assumptions of how a WWID should look like. (Not to mention that we don't have a vendor OUI...).

iSCSI device identifiers also use a string, and even worse it's utf8 and not just 7-bit ASCII.
