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

Any updates on this one?
Still applies to the latest linus' tree
I merged it to wireless-next yesterday.

Thanks for the reminder!
