Auditing calls to sprintf(). This code is fine because we are
copying 9 characters into a 52 character buffer. But it would
be cleaner to use strscpy() instead. Additionally, the 2-argument
version of strscpy() checks at compile time that dst is an array,
not just a pointer.

This is the only sprintf() call in the whole driver.
