[PATCH net-next] net: usb: pegasus: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtouint
From: Sajal Gupta
Date: Wed May 06 2026 - 11:35:00 EST
simple_strtoul() is deprecated as it has no error checking. Replace it
with kstrtouint() which returns an error code on invalid input, and add
appropriate error handling.
Also add a NULL check before parsing flags, since strsep() can set id
to NULL if the input has fewer tokens than expected.
