Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: TAD: Replace sprintf with sysfs_emit

Replace use of sprintf in *_show attributes with sysfs_emit for writing
to sysfs. While the current implementation works, sysfs_emit helps prevent
potential buffer overflows and aligns with kernel documentation
Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst.

Tested on an x86_64 system with acpi_tad built as a module:
- Inserted patched acpi_tad.ko successfully
- Verified /sys/devices/platform/ACPI000E:00/time and /caps are accessible
- Confirmed correct output from 'cat' with no dmesg errors
