The current implementation seems to reinvent what `kstrtoul` already does in terms of functionality and error handling. Remove uses of `simple_strtoul()` in favor of `kstrtoul()`. There is the following note at `lib/vsprintf.c:simple_strtoull()` which further backs this change: | * This function has caveats. Please use kstrtoull (or kstrtoul) instead. And here, simple_str* are explicitly deprecated [3]. This patch also removes an instance of the deprecated `strncpy` which helps [2]. Compile tested only.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
