  Update sprintf in serial_show frunction to scnprintf command to

Isn't the correct function sysfs_emit() ?

In any case that particular example can't possibly overflow.

Good catch. There's always something new to find)

Practically in this example, I agree. But nevertheless, ideologically, 
a pointer to the buffer is passed to the function, but its size is not 
passed. This may cause an overflow error when making changes in the 
code. Yes, the lengths of %12phN and PAGE_SIZE are very different at 
the moment. But what happens if both of these numbers change 
unpredictably in future changes?
