From f3f128d40c4cc263af8e30b009a3eb17655e912b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Lendacky, Thomas" Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2014 13:04:28 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] amd-xgbe: Fix debugfs compatibility change with kstrtouint The initial change from sscanf to kstrtouint broke backward compatbility by using a base of "0" in the kstrtouint call. This allowed for entering decimal, hexadecimal or octal as input where previously the sscanf always interpreted the input as hexadecimal. Additionally, -EIO was returned on error prior to this change and now it is whatever the error value that is returned by kstrtouint. Change the base value of the kstrtouint from 0 to 16 and return -EIO on error. Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky Reported-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S.
