Coccinelle reports a warning
WARNING: use scnprintf or sprintf
Following the advice on kernel documentation
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/sysfs.html
For show(device *...) functions, only use sysfs_emit() or sysfs_emit_at()
especially when formatting the value to be returned to user space.
Convert snprintf() to sysfs_emit()
