This patch breaks a qemu emulation using
	console=uart,mmio,0x90000000,115200
as command line argument. Problem appears to be the replacement of
simple_strtoul() with kstrtoull(). It looks like simple_strtoul() parsed
the address, but kstrtoull() doesn't. Reverting the kstrtoull() back to
simple_strtoul() fixes the problem for me.

The command line in question is found in arch/openrisc/boot/dts/or1ksim.dts.
There are similar command lines in other dts files, which makes me suspect
that this construct is also used by out-of-kernel command lines. Besides, the
code looks for ',' after the address, which suggests that the above should be
a valid argument.

Is this change to kstrtoull really necessary ? If yes, can you make it work
with existing command lines ?

Thanks,
Guenter
