The changes I made were intended to simply replace snprintf with sysfs_emit as per 
linux/Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst:246,247
 -  show() should only use sysfs_emit() or sysfs_emit_at() when formatting
    the value to be returned to user space.

I specifically tried not to change the design, but only as I didn't have 
background in Power Management.

Well exactly that is questionable design for sysfs.

See the sysfs_emit() and sysfs_emit_at() functions are designed the way
they are because you should have only one value per file, which is then
printed at exactly one location.

Take a look at the documentation for sysfs for more details.

Yeah, somebody with a bit more background in power management needs to
take a closer look at this here. Just keep me looped in.
