Why not use kstrtoul to avoid having to check for negative val? The same way that is done just below in this patch?

Additionally, why not using kstrtou8 so we don't have to do this check ourselves in the driver?


Following my desire to minimize changes, but you have a point. I'll use kstrtou8().

+    data->pwm1 = val;

Same remark concerning kstrtou8 use.

I'll use kstrtou8().

We're suddenly allowing 255 as a valid value.

I don't see 255 triggering an obvious divide-by-0 issue in the code, nor any limitation from a quick look at the datasheet. 254 was introduced in the introducing commit, as well as the other 255... so probably an oversight by the original author? In any case, I would make this a separate commit or at the very least make this explicit in the commit log to show this isn't an oversight **right now** and that this change was desired.


No, this is on purpose. pwm1_auto_point_pwm[2] is set to a constant
255, and pwm1_auto_point_pwm[1] has to be lower than that. As you had
noticed, I fixed this in a later commit, but I should have fixed it
here.

Thanks,
Guenter
