[PATCH v3] iio: proximity: srf08: replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit()

[PATCH v3] iio: proximity: srf08: replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit()

[Maxwell Doose]

This patch replaces sprintf() function calls with sysfs_emit() and
sysfs_emit_at(). While the current code is fine, sysfs_emit() is
preferred over sprintf(), and will help modernize the driver.

 v2:
 - Fixed indenting of sysfs_emit call in function srf08_show_range_mm.
 - Optimized return sequence in function srf08_show_sensitivity by
   directly returning instead of modifying a variable and then
   returning.

 v3:
 - Changed indenting of sysfs_emit() call in function
   srf08_show_range_mm() per Andy Shevchenko's request.
 - Clarified commit message details.

Not true unfortunately. Now broken differently.

Should be:
	return sysfs_emit(buf, "%d.%03d\n",
			  data->range_mm / 1000, data->range_mm % 1000);
Or
	return sysfs_emit(buf, "%d.%03d\n", data->range_mm / 1000,
			  data->range_mm % 1000);

Sorry, still figuring out the indenting for the multi-line parameter lists.
I'll get that fixed in a v4 once I've got free time.

Wrong indentation.

Ditto.

The rest is okay.
