Subject: [PATCH] SYSFS: Fix return values for sysdev_store_{ulong,int}
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 12:03:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081013100303.GA32199@basil.nowhere.org> (raw)

SYSFS: Fix return values for sysdev_store_{ulong,int}

Always return the full size instead of the consumed
length of the string in sysdev_store_{ulong,int}

This avoids EINVAL errors in some echo versions.
