[PATCH v3 1/3] Revert "kernel/reboot.c: convert simple_strtoul to kstrtoint"

From: Matteo Croce
Date: Tue Nov 03 2020 - 16:40:48 EST


From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This reverts commit 616feab753972b9751308f3cd2a68fc57eae8edb.

kstrtoint() and simple_strtoul() have a subtle difference which makes
them non interchangeable: if a non digit character is found amid the
parsing, the former will return an error, while the latter will just
stop parsing, e.g. simple_strtoul("123xyx") = 123.

The kernel cmdline reboot= argument allows to specify the CPU used
for rebooting, with the syntax `s####` among the other flags,
e.g. "reboot=warm,s31,force", so if this flag is not the last given,
it's silently ignored as well as the subsequent ones.
