I'm trying to come up with a test. I did look into the code and saw that the pointer to the string moves as it's being parsed, and the parsing stops when the string is no longer a number. So I think it's good to use this function to replace simple_strtoul(), as kstrtoul() has an overflow check as a plus.

Btw, did you test this code? Shakeel was poiting out that kstrtoul() might not
work here, is it false?
Thanks!
