I was using sprintf() instead of sysfs_emit() because I randomly referred
to one of the nearby attributes. Looks like there are still many attributes in
port.c that uses sprintf(), any reason why we didn't replace them?
If not, I'm happy to do a clean-up so that others don't make the same mistake
as I did :D
