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 buffer was only 10 bytes long and the value is masked by a nibble-mask anyway, we don't need to use kstrtoul but rather kstrtou8. Kernel Version: v3.0-rc2 Signed-off-by: Peter Huewe <redacted>Any updates on this one? Still applies to the latest linus' tree
I merged it to wireless-next yesterday. Thanks for the reminder! John -- John W.
