No, The strchr() checks that the suffix is one the caller wanted.
The strcspn() is against a fixed list - so the order can be
selected to make the code shorter.

Actually strcspn() isn't the function you need.
There might be a function like strchr() that returns a count
but I can't remember its name and it may not be in kernel.
You might have to write:
	shift = 0;
	for (const char *sfp = "KkMmGgTtPp"; suffix != *sfp; sfp++, shift++) {
		if (!*sfp)
			return -EINVAL;
	}
	shift = shift/2 + 1 * 10;
