The original code is kind of bad.  The NULL check isn't required.
The sscanf call should have error checking.  The error code is wrong if
the copy from user fails.  The tmp buffer isn't NUL terminated.

	if (copy_from_user(tmp, buffer, sizeof(tmp)))
		return -EFAULT;
	tmp[sizeof(tmp) - 1] = '\0';

	if (sscanf(tmp, "%u", &g_wait_hiq_empty) != 1)
		return -EINVAL;

	return count;
