[PATCH] powerpc/rtas_flash: Use scnprintf() in rtas_flash_read_num()

From: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>
Date: 2026-07-22 16:29:23
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

Use scnprintf() and its return value to avoid a separate strlen() call.
