Um, you did something different this time, causing another (not critical) checkpatch warning
WARNING: patch prefix 'drivers' exists, appears to be a -p0 patch

@@ -1325,7 +1328,8 @@ static ssize_t viafb_dfpl_proc_write(struct file *file,

+ if (kstrtou8(buf, -1,&reg_val)< 0)

Did you miss my comment about the -1 above last time? Why it is there?

+ return -EINVAL;

return count;
}
