Warning: Use scnprintf or sprintf
Adding to that, there has been a slow migration from snprintf to scnprintf.
This LWN article explains the rationale for this change

Ie. snprintf() returns what *would* be the resulting length,
while scnprintf() returns the actual length.

Isn't using snprintf() or scnprintf() inside sysfs show callbacks considered deprecated?

Thanks,
