    According to the documentation[1] show() methods of device attributes
    should return the number of bytes printed into the buffer. This is
    the return value of scnprintf(). show() must not use snprintf()
    when formatting the value to be returned to user space. snprintf()
    returns the length the resulting string would be, assuming it all
    fit into the destination array[2]. scnprintf() return the length of
    the string actually created in buf. If one can guarantee that an
    overflow will never happen sprintf() can be used otherwise scnprintf().
