I was going to push this, but noticed the function has a third
scnprintf(), and the last two play together with count. It would be
confusing to have a mix of sysfs_emit() and scnprintf(). The third one
can't be blindly converted to sysfs_emit() because it writes at an
offset not aligned by PAGE_SIZE.

So I'm not taking this.

Jani.
