Applied.

I subsequently simplified the patch case to contain the following:

-              snprintf(BUF, SZ, FORMAT
+              sysfs_emit(BUF, FORMAT
                               ,...);

This also works for the case where there are only three arguments.
It has the benefit that the change is recognized as a line replacement, so
no extra {} are added when the call is in an if branch.
