Instead of using a temporary buffer, snprintf() and kstrdup(), just
use kasprintf() that does the same thing in just oneline.

No not really.  It's a bit different because the first
snprintf is length limited but the kasprintf is not.

The one it's replacing is worse, it never sets gpiostr[15] to 0 and
kstrdup will read past the end of the buffer if the string is
truncated.
