Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit().
sysfs_emit() is preferred than sprintf() in show() functions.
It has aware of the PAGE_SIZE buffer limit and ensures safe buffer handling.

For _new_ functions, not existing ones.

Are any of the current usages incorrect?  If not, no need to change
this.

I wouldn't mind it if part of more general cleanup and modernisation, particularly
if that was touching the relevant bit of the code.

Before sending a patch check if anything similar is on list.
There is one other near identical one I rejected and a more significant
cleanup series that is undergoing revisions...

Thanks,
