That's correct, but with the previous code there will be a truncation
is "echo -n 0x123456789".  If we don't want that, we should check if the
last character is a '\n'.

OK

Appended is another patch that adds the '\n' check and reworks the code
a bit (so that it will accept strings like "0x1" too).

Subject: PM: Fix PM QOS's user mode interface to work with ASCII input

Make pm_qos_power_write() accept values passed to it in the ASCII hex
format either with or without an ending newline.
