Subject: [PATCH 1/2 v2] mfd/ab3550: Convert to kstrtou8_from_user

This patch replaces the code for getting an number from a
userspace buffer by a simple call to kstrou8_from_user.
This makes it easier to read and less error prone.

Since the old buffers held only values up to 255, we don't need
kstrtoul, but rather kstrtou8.

Kernel Version: v3.0-rc3

Changes in v2:
- Use kstrtou8 instead of kstrtoul due to small numbers
- Dropped then unnecessary checks
(Both remarks from Alexey Dobriyan, Thanks!)
