In lis3102dq_write_frequency() we used a long variable to store the value parsed from the char* buffer buf, as there only was a strict_strtol() function to parse values. Now we have got kstrto* which allows us to convert to the right data type in most cases. In this particular function we want to write a frequency value, and it doesn't make sense to allow negative values here (as Dan Carpenter pointed out in a previous email). This means we can now parse the value into an unsigned long and get an error for invalid (e.g. negative) values.
