Insufficient patch description.
Patch mangled. Read Documentation/email-clients.txt send it to
yourself, verify that it applies with `git am`.

We introduced a lot of new functions here so it's not just a one to
one translation from the old strict_strtoul(). For example
kstrtou8() might be more appropriate here because that's what gets
passed to enable_oled(). You would need to change the type for
value as well.
Althought it doesn't matter much. If the user passes anything
besides 1 or 0, they deserve what they get I suppose.
Preserve the error code instead of returning -EINVAL for everything.
