Note: I've taken a look at the simple_strtol implementation and found
that it is calling simple_strtoul(), and that simple_strtoul doesn't
handle overflows. After all these functions are called "simple" for a
reason... This means that there's little point in being very strict in
the driver code on that front.

Still, I like this patch, that's a nice cleanup.

Test results:

ds1261: all OK
w83627ehf: temp1 not OK (can't write negative limits)
w83627hf: all OK
w83781d: all OK

Please fix the w83627ehf temp1 case and resubmit.

Thanks,
