[PATCH 1/2] mfd/ab3550: Use kstrtoul_from_user

From: Peter Huewe
Date: Mon Jun 06 2011 - 16:43:43 EST


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

Kernel Version: v3.0-rc2
