Subject: [03/29] Staging: asus_oled: fix oops in 2.6.32.2

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Eugeni Dodonov <eugeni@...driva.com>

commit 20633bf0141c5e93e3396770d5eb7d200ee4068a upstream.

After updating to 2.6.32 kernel, I started experiencing Oopses caused by
the asus_oled module. After quick investigation, I wrapped this simple
patch which fixes an Oops in by asus_oled module on 2.6.32.2 kernel,
caused by incorrect usage of strict_strtoul function call within
set_enabled and set_disabled functions. This can be triggered by simple
running the userspace client for asus_old (e.g., 'asusoled -e' or
'asusoled -d').
