The simple_strtoul function is obsolete.
This patch replace it by kstrtoul.

Since kstrtoul is more strict, it permits to filter some invalid input that
simple_strtoul accept. For example:
echo '1022xxx' > /sys/devices/pnp0/00:03/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq
cat /sys/devices/pnp0/00:03/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq
1022

Yeah, that is exactly the issue. Existing script that are doing that and
are currently working will then fail which is usually not what we want.
However, I think I'll still apply that patch.
