Subject: strict_strto* is not strict enough
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.29-rc1~376
X-Git-Url: http://www.pilppa.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e899aa823ad74860a17b541b0ad38f513728923d;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

strict_strto* is not strict enough

It decodes "\n" as 0, which is bad, because stray echo into backlight
will turn your backlight off, etc...
