[62/99] sgi-gru: decrapfiy options_write() function

[Greg KH]

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d39b7dd1dcbf394a1cb897457c862dafe9a20ac5 upstream.

Not a single line of actual code in the function was really
fundamentally correct.

Problems ranged from lack of proper range checking, to removing the last
character written (which admittedly is usually '\n'), to not accepting
hex numbers even though the 'show' routine would show the data in that
format.

This tries to do better.
