Subject: [PATCH 1/3] staging: iio: frequency: ad9834: use sysfs_emit() in show
 helpers

Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() in ad9834_show_out0_wavetype_available
and ad9834_show_out1_wavetype_available functions to follow the recommended
sysfs API pattern for device attribute show methods.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] staging: iio: impedance-analyzer: ad5933: use
 sysfs_emit() in sysfs output

Convert all sprintf() calls in ad5933_show_frequency and ad5933_show
attribute functions to sysfs_emit() to comply with the kernel-recommended
sysfs show method convention for proper buffer length handling.

Hi,

This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.  You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response.  He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created.  Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.

You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:

- Your patch was attached, please place it inline so that it can be
  applied directly from the email message itself.

If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot
