[PATCH v2 0/3] spi: use kstrtoul() and snprintf()

[Aayush Kumar]

From: Aayush Kumar <aayushkmx@gmail.com>

Replace simple_strtoul() with kstrtoul() and sprintf() with snprintf()
in three SPI drivers.

[PATCH v2 1/3] spi: tle62x0: Use kstrtoul() instead of simple_strtoul()

[Aayush Kumar]

From: Aayush Kumar <aayushkmx@gmail.com>

Use the recommended kstrtoul() instead of the deprecated
simple_strtoul(). Check the return value and reject invalid values.

[PATCH v2 2/3] spi: omap2-mcspi: Use snprintf() instead of sprintf()

[Aayush Kumar]

From: Aayush Kumar <aayushkmx@gmail.com>

Use snprintf() instead of sprintf() to avoid potential buffer
overflows when formatting DMA channel names.

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
