Is this checkpatch whine:

WARNING: consider using strict_strtoul in preference to simple_strtoul
#112: FILE: drivers/base/platform.c:1017:
+                       id = simple_strtoul(buf +

total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 201 lines checked

appropriate?

If the user provided "43foo", do we want to treat that as 42, or as
error?

If the user provided just "foo" then afacit we'll currently treat that
as zero.
