Re: [PATCH] scsi: snic: Use sysfs_emit in show function callback

[ALOK TIWARI <alok.a.tiwari@oracle.com>]

code changes look good.

commit message can be more simpler like  "show() should only use 
sysfs_emit() or sysfs_emit_at() when formatting the
value to be returned to user space."

and in place of kobject attributes , device attribute is more relevant here.

Thanks,
Alok
