Subject: Re: [PATCH] Input: convert obsolete strict_strtox to kstrtox

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for the hint. I will send a new patch.

Btw, there are still some simple_strtox uses floating around. Namely:

drivers/input/joystick/analog.c:735:            analog_options[i] = simple_strtoul(js[i], &end, 0);
drivers/input/mouse/sentelic.c:415:     reg = simple_strtoul(buf, &rest, 16);
drivers/input/touchscreen/gunze.c:71:   input_report_abs(dev, ABS_X, simple_strtoul(gunze->data + 1, NULL, 10));
drivers/input/touchscreen/gunze.c:72:   input_report_abs(dev, ABS_Y, 1024 - simple_strtoul(gunze->data + 6, NULL, 10));

But I am not quite sure if it's safe to convert along the way. Is it OK
to convert these?

Thanks,
jj
