[PATCH 12/12] usb: storage: Remove snprintf() from sysfs call-backs and replace with sysfs_emit()

From: Lee Jones
Date: Wed Dec 13 2023 - 11:43:51 EST


Since snprintf() has the documented, but still rather strange trait of
returning the length of the data that *would have been* written to the
array if space were available, rather than the arguably more useful
length of data *actually* written, it is usually considered wise to use
something else instead in order to avoid confusion.

In the case of sysfs call-backs, new wrappers exist that do just that.
