This patch removes a call to the deprecated simple_strtoul function
and simplifies the code by replacing two function calls with one
call to kstrtouint_from_user.
-Simplify the adv7393_write_proc function by replacing the
simple_strtoul and copy_from_user calls with one call
to kstrtouint_from_user.
-Change the count parameter from unsigned long to size_t as
this is the type that the kstrtouint_from_user function expects.
(size_t is what will be passed to the adv7393_write_proc function
by the proc write handler function proc_file_write anyway)
