  sprintf function is not secure as it doesn't check the length of string.
More secure function snprintf is used.

Fixes: 450f079131 ("power: add traffic pattern aware power control")

Shouldn't we just remove pfi_str completely?  I don't see it referenced
anywhere else in this function.

That would be better than changing to snprintf(), imo.
