NAK
You should use kstrtou8_from_user() and drop 0xff check as well.

Do NOT blindly replace strict_strtoul with kstrtoul.

Thanks for spotting this - I'll review my other patches as well and redo them.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2 v2] mfd/ab3550: Convert to kstrtou8_from_user

This patch replaces the code for getting an number from a
userspace buffer by a simple call to kstrou8_from_user.
This makes it easier to read and less error prone.

Since the old buffers held only values up to 255, we don't need
kstrtoul, but rather kstrtou8.

Kernel Version: v3.0-rc3

Changes in v2:
- Use kstrtou8 instead of kstrtoul due to small numbers
- Dropped then unnecessary checks
(Both remarks from Alexey Dobriyan, Thanks!)

You don't need temporary variable and should write straight to final location,
because kstrto* functions will never write to result unless it was converted
successfully.

Alexey thank you very much for your review, hints and most of all patience ;)
The code really gets cleaner and cleaner.

While changing the code (once again ;) and looking at your remarks I also saw
that ab3550->debug_address and ->debug_bank are always casted to u8.

Do you think I could also change the two fields of the struct ab3550 (only
used in this file) to u8 in this patch, too?
This way I could get rid of the u8* cast which is now needed in this case, if
I take you last remark into account.
> err = kstrtou8_from_user(user_buf, count, 0, (u8 *)&ab->debug_address);

And also clean the code from all the other unnecessary u8 casts.

What do you think?
Or split it up into two seperate patches?

Thanks,
Peter

Subject: [PATCH 1/2 v3] mfd/ab3550: Convert to kstrtou8_from_user

This patch replaces the code for getting an number from a
userspace buffer by a simple call to kstrou8_from_user.
This makes it easier to read and less error prone.

Since the old buffers held only values up to 255, we don't need
kstrtoul, but rather kstrtou8.

Kernel Version: v3.0-rc3

Changes in v2:
- Use kstrtou8 instead of kstrtoul due to small numbers
- Dropped then unnecessary checks
Changes in v3:
- Drop now unnecessary local variables
- Change the debug_address and debug_bank members to u8 since they hold
only values up to 255, and also remove the now superfluous u8 casts
(Remarks from Alexey Dobriyan, Thanks!)
