Subject: [PATCH 1/2] asus_acpi: fix error checking in /proc files

From: Darren Jenkins <darrenrjenkins@...il.com>

ICC complains about a "Pointless comparsion of unsigned interger with
zero" @ line 760 & 808 of asus_acpi.c

parse_arg() mentioned below returns -E but it's copied into unsigned variable...
