Thanks for you review.
Yes, i think so, beside PTP_SHOW_INT, there are 3 other places not detected by coccinelle should be fixed.
I will update it in V2.

$ grep snprintf drivers/ptp/ptp_sysfs.c
         return snprintf(page, PAGE_SIZE-1, "%d\n", ptp->info->var);     \
         cnt = snprintf(page, PAGE_SIZE, "%u %lld %u\n",
         size = snprintf(page, PAGE_SIZE - 1, "%u\n", ptp->n_vclocks);
         size = snprintf(page, PAGE_SIZE - 1, "%u\n", ptp->max_vclocks);


Thanks
Zhijian
