In all cases, the buffer _is_ large enough.
tmpi is length 5 and ok.
include/sound/core.h: char shortname[32]; /* short name of this soundcard */
include/sound/core.h: char longname[80]; /* name of this soundcard */
include/sound/core.h: char mixername[80]; /* mixer name */
_show function lengths are OK for all the uses with PAGE_SIZE.
And it's probably better to use sysfs_emit for all the _show functions
