You could have made my job easier by
(1) mentioning that the first and the second email you sent are different
(2) highlighting the difference
I think your patch is correct, but I just saw a huge patch series by Alexey
Dobriyan on the LKML with much more invasive changes in this area (basically
eliminating strict_strtoul). I'll keep your second email as a backup but won't
apply it now as it would conflict with the series which obsolates it anyway.
Thanks,
Florian Tobias Schandinat
