Try to use simple_strtol() kernel native method instead.
strtol or strtoul?
I don't know for sure, see below.

sorry, i meant: here it says simple_strtol but the code says simple_strtoul


However, there are opened questions:
  - why type of Atoi() is s32 if the sign is used only to detect base?
This is the question about l vs ul.

agree, IMO this should be ul, I haven't reviewed all the places where Atoi is used but the ones I have seen use it as ul

about the sign: I haven't seen any value with '+' or '-' prefix so with this patch the decision to identify as base10 is left to simple_guess_base inside strtoul

if value strings had '0x' instead of ending 'H' for hex the whole Atoi could be replaced, i guess this would also allow to use strict_strtoul and avoid a checkpatch warning :(
