Re: [PATCH v2] ALSA: control: Fix parsing of numeric fields

[Sreeraj S Kurup <sreekuttan2156239@gmail.com>]

Hi Takashi,

I compared the approaches.

Using simple_strtoul() would provide an end pointer, but it is deprecated.

Another option is to retain kstrtoull() from the original implementation 
and apply the delimiter-first approach. This would minimize changes to the 
existing conversion logic.

However, since the destination is an unsigned int, kstrtouint() better matches 
the destination type and also detects values outside the unsigned int range.

I currently prefer the v2 approach, but wanted to point out this difference in 
overflow handling.

Thanks,
Sreeraj
