I did use kstrtou*() in the early prototype and realized kstrtou16() returns 0
if the input string contains non-numerical characters.

E.g., the example of input can be "1/0/state", where 1 is fotherend_id
(frontend_id) and 0 is handle.

When "1/0/state" is used at input, kstrtou16() returns 0 (returned integer) and
-22 (error).
