> Replace the deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtouint() for parsing
> the MTD device number string. kstrtouint() provides stricter validation
> and better error handling.
>
> In open_mtd_device(), a string that can be parsed as a pure number is
> treated as an MTD device index; otherwise it is treated as a device
> name. kstrtouint() returns 0 on success and -EINVAL if the string
> contains non-numeric characters, which aligns with this logic and
> eliminates the need for manual endp checks.
>
> For compatibility with kstrtouint(), mtd_num is changed from int to
> unsigned int, consistent with the existing simple_strtoul ->
> kstrtouint conversions in mtdoops.c and mtdsuper.c.
>
> The multi-line comment is simplified to a concise single-line comment
> since the logic is self-explanatory with kstrtouint().
