From b642e44e8ab335868b549fe5753b783ca47bf3a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kars Mulder Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:34:53 -0700 Subject: kstrto*: correct documentation references to simple_strto*() The documentation of the kstrto*() functions reference the simple_strtoull function by "used as a replacement for [the obsolete] simple_strtoull". All these functions describes themselves as replacements for the function simple_strtoull, even though a function like kstrtol() would be more aptly described as a replacement of simple_strtol(). Fix these references by making the documentation of kstrto*() reference the closest simple_strto*() equivalent available. The functions kstrto[u]int() do not have direct simple_strto[u]int() equivalences, so these are made to refer to simple_strto[u]l() instead. Furthermore, add parentheses after function names, as is standard in kernel documentation.

Both of these terms are inaccurate: they're not replacements because they have different behaviour, and the simple_strto*() are not obsolete because there are cases where they have benefits over kstrto*(). Remove usage of the terms "replacement" and "obsolete" in reference to simple_strto*(), and instead use the term "preferred over".
