That's an interesting way to append... I note that snprintf(3) has a
note about this, suggesting that (a) the standards make this undefined
and (b) that depending on the gcc version used, this may not produce
the expected results. Taking both together seems sufficient
justification to stay away from attempting this method of appending
a string.

Remote this.

	val = mask = 0;

		mask |= SW_DRIVE_STRENGTH_M << props[i].offset;

	return ksz_rmw8(dev, reg, mask, val);

maybe safer?
