Output defects can exist in sysfs content using sprintf and snprintf. sprintf does not know the PAGE_SIZE maximum of the temporary buffer used for outputting sysfs content and it's possible to overrun the PAGE_SIZE buffer length. Use a generic sysfs_emit function that knows that the size of the temporary buffer and ensures that no overrun is done for offset attribute.
