[PATCH] misc: altera-stapl: Replace sprintf with hex_asc_lo for hex conversion

From: aravindanilraj0702

Date: Thu Mar 26 2026 - 13:54:07 EST


From: Aravind Anilraj <aravindanilraj0702@xxxxxxxxx>

Replace sprintf() calls used to format single hex digits with direct
assignment using hex_asc_lo().This avoids unnecessary overhead
from using sprintf for single character output.

No functional changes.
