[PATCH 2/2 v4] mfd/ab8500: 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
Changes in v3:
- The local struct dev variable isn't needed anymore
Changes in v4:
- Drop unneccesary now local variables and casts
- Change the debug_address and debug_bank members to u8 since they hold
only values up to 255, and also remove the now superfluous u8 casts

(Remarks from Alexey Dobriyan, Thanks!)
