This patch replaces sprintf() function calls with sysfs_emit() and
sysfs_emit_at() function calls where appropriate. While the current code
is functional, this patch will help harden the driver and help modernize
it. While at it, this patch also adds missing newlines at the end of
some sysfs_emit() (formerly sprintf()) calls.

Replaces sprintf() with sysfs_emit[_at](). Add missing newlines at the end
of some sysfs_emit() (formerly sprintf()) calls.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I'll make sure to add
these changes for a v2 when I've got the time.
