Commit 3c0897c180c6 ("cpufreq: Use scnprintf() for avoiding potential buffer overflow") switched from snprintf to the more secure scnprintf but never updated the exit condition for PAGE_SIZE.
As the commit say and as scnprintf document, what scnprintf returns what is actually written not counting the '\0' end char. This results in the case of len exceeding the size, len set to PAGE_SIZE - 1, as it can be written at max PAGESIZE - 1 (as '\0' is not counted)
Because of len is never set to PAGE_SIZE, the function never break early, never print the warning and never return -EFBIG.
Fix this by fixing the condition to PAGE_SIZE -1 to correctly trigger the error condition.

Applied (with some edits in the subject and changelog) as 6.7 material, thanks!
Hi, I just notice this landed in linux-next but I can't find the devfreq change. Only the cpufreq patch has been taken and the devfreq ones are still pending?
That's correct AFAICS. I've only picked up the cpufreq change.
