Harvey posted a fix for this today, which I'll apply soon.

Thanks for checking the archives before reporting a problem.

Mea Culpa, I was testing with a too-simple case, it does reverse the digits,
can you try this:

From: Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@gmail.com>
[PATCH] printk: ipv4 address digits printed in reverse order

put_dec_trunc prints the digits in reverse order and is reversed
inside number(). Continue using put_dec_trunc, but reverse each quad
in ip4_addr_string.
