Some more bikeshed paint :-)

How about:
	suffix = *endptr;
	if (!strchr(suffixes, suffix))
		return -ENIVAL;
	shift = strcspn("KkMmGgTtPp", suffix)/2 * 10 + 10;
	if (shift > 50)
		return -EINVAL;
	if (value >> (64 - shift))
		return -EOVERFLOW;
	value <<= shift;

Although purists might want to multiply by 1000 not 1024.
And SI multipliers are all upper-case - except k.

That is just plain wrong.
