I don't see why code has to build a format string here, and not do what other 
code does
and do multiple print's. Plus for JSON it is better to not create aggregated 
types.

Also sprintf() should not be used only snprintf.

And the flower code seems to have forgotten the seldom used oneline mode.

Maybe something like:

-static void flower_print_ip_attr(char *name, struct rtattr *key_attr,
+static void flower_print_ip_attr(const char *name, struct rtattr *key_attr,
                                 struct rtattr *mask_attr)
 {
-       SPRINT_BUF(namefrm);
-       SPRINT_BUF(out);
-       size_t done;
+       SPRINT_BUF(mask_name);
 
        if (!key_attr)
                return;
 
-       done = sprintf(out, "%x", rta_getattr_u8(key_attr));
-       if (mask_attr)
-               sprintf(out + done, "/%x", rta_getattr_u8(mask_attr));
+       print_string(PRINT_FP, NULL, "%s  ", _SL_);
+       print_string(PRINT_FP, NULL, "%s ", name);
+       print_0xhex(PRINT_ANY, name, "%x", rta_getattr_u8(key_attr));
 
-       sprintf(namefrm, "\n  %s %%x", name);
-       print_string(PRINT_ANY, name, namefrm, out);
+       if (mask_attr) {
+               snprintf(mask_name, sizeof(mask_name),
+                        "%s_mask", name);
+               print_0xhex(PRINT_ANY, mask_name, "/%x",
+                            rta_getattr_u8(mask_attr));
+       }
 }
