That says _what_ you did, not _why_ you are doing this. What problem
are you solving with this change?

sprintf is not safe, and it not recommended to use.
sprintf does not know the PAGE_SIZE maximum of the temporary buffer
used for outputting sysfs content and it's possible to overrun the
PAGE_SIZE buffer length. so used sysfs_emit that knows that the size
of the call situations that also ensures that no overrun is done. so use sysfs_emit to replace sprintf maybe better.
