[PATCH] staging: greybus: light: use sysfs_emit() instead of sprintf()

Posted by ts930@naver.com 4 days, 7 hours ago

From: Park Tae-sun <ts930@dgu.ac.kr>

The sysfs documentation (Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst) recommends
using sysfs_emit() instead of sprintf() in sysfs show() callbacks.

Replace the remaining sprintf() calls in the fade_##__dir##_show()
macro and color_show() callback with sysfs_emit().

This follows the standard kernel practice and existing use of
sysfs_emit() in other Greybus sysfs show functions.

No functional change.

How is this different from past patches that have attempted to change
this?
