The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 6.18-stable tree.

I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst.

I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to stable@vger.kernel.org and let me know why this patch should be applied. Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be seen again.

thanks,

Replace sprintf() calls with sysfs_emit() to follow current kernel coding standards.

sysfs_emit() is the preferred method for formatting sysfs output as it provides better bounds checking and is more secure.
