[PATCH 03/20] headers: add kstrtox.h backport

Yi Cong <[email protected]> Wed, 24 Jun 2026 15:38:27 +0800
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.backports
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Yi Cong <[email protected]>

The separate <linux/kstrtox.h> header was introduced in v5.14
(commit 29b25d81ef62).  Before that, kstrto*() declarations live
in <linux/kernel.h>.

Provide a compatibility wrapper that includes <linux/kernel.h> on
kernels older than v5.14.
