Replace scnprintf() with sysfs_emit() in several sysfs show()
callbacks in hisi_sas_v3_hw.c. This is recommended in
Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst for formatting values returned to
userspace.

For new users, yes, but what's wrong with these existing calls?  They
still work properly, so why change them?

thanks,

How about making this explicit in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst?
I think that would help to stop the steady stream of patches for
converting existing sysfs show callbacks to sysfs_emit()/sysfs_emit_at().

Thanks,

Bart.

Oh okay, got it. I was under the impression that older scnprintf()
calls should be actively replaced  with sysfs_emit(). But no need if
they just work, unless there is a bug or something.

Thanks for the clarification.
