This says that changing to sysfs_emit() will increase the stability of
the driver, but actually that's not true.  I am fine with these sorts of
hardening patches but I want the commit message to say that "The original
code is fine as is" instead of implying it is unstable.

If the commit did fix a real issue, then we would need a Fixes tag.
