Let's do it then.

Note that in -next there is still some strtobool but only in tools/.
I thinks it is ok to leave it as-is.


git grep -w strtobool

tools/include/linux/string.h:int strtobool(const char *s, bool *res);
tools/lib/string.c: *  More specifically, the first copied function was 
strtobool, which
tools/lib/string.c: *  d0f1fed29e6e ("Add a strtobool function matching 
semantics of existing in kernel equivalents")
tools/lib/string.c: * strtobool - convert common user inputs into 
boolean values
tools/lib/string.c:int strtobool(const char *s, bool *res)
tools/perf/util/bpf-loader.c:   err = strtobool(value, &bool_value);
