The original code is kind of bad.  The NULL check isn't required.

Just for clarification, NULL check refers to checking if buffer != NULL in the
if condition?

       if (buffer && !copy_from_user(tmp, buffer, sizeof(tmp)))
           ~~~~~~

The sscanf call should have error checking.  The error code is wrong if
the copy from user fails.  The tmp buffer isn't NUL terminated.

	if (copy_from_user(tmp, buffer, sizeof(tmp)))
		return -EFAULT;
	tmp[sizeof(tmp) - 1] = '\0';

	if (sscanf(tmp, "%u", &g_wait_hiq_empty) != 1)
		return -EINVAL;

	return count;
