Well, this doesn't seem quite right.

Besides, if count == 11, there we'll write beyond ascii_value[], right?
What about the appended patch instead of your original one?

Subject: PM: Correct PM QOS's user mode interface to work with ascii input per
What is in the kernel docs. Writing a string to the ABI from user mode
comes in 2 flavors. One with and one without a '\n' at the end. This
change accepts both.
# echo 0x12345678 > /dev/cpu_dma_latency
and
# echo -n 0x12345678 > /dev/cpu_dma_latency
now both work.
