Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() in the protocol_id_show() sysfs attribute function. This code is safe as-is, but replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() because we are trying to get rid of calls to sprintf() as part of kernel hardening; sysfs_emit() is more appropriate in this context.

Changes in v2: - Subject: change to imperative "Replace" (was "Replaced"). - Wording and line breaks adjusted in the commit body for clarity.
Changes in v3: - Clarify what "safe" means (buffer is PAGE_SIZE) per Dan Carpenter's suggestion. - Reflow lines to avoid awkward breaks. --- drivers/staging/greybus/gbphy.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
