csio_store_dbg_level() has an inverted return check on sscanf():
the existing check treats a truthy return as an error, so every
valid write to the "dbg_level" sysfs attribute was rejected with
-EINVAL. This has been broken since the driver was first added.

checkpatch also flags this same line for a related issue:

WARNING: unchecked sscanf return value
WARNING: Prefer kstrto<type> to single variable sscanf

Replace the sscanf()/isdigit() combo with kstrtou32(buf, 16, ...),
so this class of inversion bug can't happen again. It also validates
the whole string instead of stopping at the first non-digit. This makes
the isdigit() pre-check redundant, so it's removed along with the now
unused <linux/ctype.h> include.

Base 16 is used instead of base 0 (which would only recognize hex
with an explicit "0x" prefix) to match csio_show_dbg_level(),
which always prints the value as bare hex via "%x". This keeps
read and write symmetric: writing back what was just read always
restores the same value.

Hi all,

While looking at this file I noticed checkpatch flags
csio_store_dbg_level() with:

WARNING: unchecked sscanf return value
WARNING: Prefer kstrto<type> to single variable sscanf

Digging into it, the sscanf() check is actually inverted, so
csio_store_dbg_level() has been rejecting every valid write since the
driver was added. This patch fixes that with kstrtou32(), using base
16 (instead of 0) so that copy-pasting the value printed by
csio_show_dbg_level() (which is always printed as bare hex) back into
the store function round-trips correctly.

While tracing this I also noticed that log_level doesn't seem to be
read anywhere else in the driver to gate any behaviour -- I couldn't
find a consumer for it. I'm not proposing to remove the dbg_level
sysfs attribute as part of this fix, just flagging it in case it's
dead code worth a separate cleanup, if the maintainers agree.

I wasn't able to test this patch, only compile it.
Thanks and regards.
