4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Lars-Peter Clausen <l...@metafoo.de> commit 9a5094ca29ea9b1da301b31fd377c0c0c4c23034 upstream. A sysfs write callback function needs to either return the number of consumed characters or an error. The ad952x_store() function currently returns 0 if the input value was "0", this will signal that no characters have been consumed and the function will be called repeatedly in a loop indefinitely. Fix this by returning number of supplied characters to indicate that the whole input string has been consumed.
