[PATCH v2] acpi_system_write_wakeup_device(): fix error check for unsigned variable.

From: Cyril Roelandt
Date: Thu Nov 22 2012 - 14:15:26 EST


The LEN variable is unsigned, therefore checking whether it is less than 0 is
useless. Also drop the LEN variable, since the COUNT parameter can be used
instead.
