[PATCH] drivers:zorro:zorro-sysfs.c Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit()

[PATCH] drivers:zorro:zorro-sysfs.c Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit()

[Rujra Bhatt]

Reply-To: 

replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() in sysfs
*_show() functions in zorro-sysfs.c to follow the kernel's guidelines
from Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst.

This improves consistency, safety, and makes the code easier to
maintain and update in the future.

No, not really.  For new code, always use sysfs_emit().  For existing
code, that you can not even test, just leave it alone unless you can
prove it is wrong.

This code looks fine as-is.  No need to change it unless you really want
to, but there is no requriement.
