The patch titled
Subject: kstrto*: do not describe simple_strto*() as obsolete/replaced
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kstrto-do-not-describe-simple_strto-as-obsolete-replaced.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: "Kars Mulder" <kerneldev@karsmulder.nl>
Subject: kstrto*: do not describe simple_strto*() as obsolete/replaced
The documentation of the kstrto*() functions describes kstrto*() as
"replacements" of the "obsolete" simple_strto*() functions. 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".

Fixes: 4c925d6031f71 ("kstrto*: add documentation")
Fixes: 885e68e8b7b13 ("kernel.h: update comment about simple_strto<foo>() functions")
