Subject: [PATCH v3] [PATCH v3] staging: greybus: gbphy: Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit()
Date: Wed,  4 Feb 2026 22:34:08 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260205033408.86340-1-neelb2403@gmail.com> (raw)

Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() in the protocol_id_show() sysfs
attribute function. This code is safe as-is, but replace
sprintf() with sysfs_emit() because we are trying to get rid of calls
to sprintf() as part of kernel hardening; sysfs_emit() is more
appropriate in this context.

This was compile-tested only (no VM/hardware used)

Changes in v2:
- Subject: change to imperative "Replace" (was "Replaced").
- Wording and line breaks adjusted in the commit body for clarity.

Changes in v3:
- Clarify what "safe" means (buffer is PAGE_SIZE) per Dan Carpenter's
  suggestion.
- Reflow lines to avoid awkward breaks.
