The conversion from strtobool() to kstrtobool() is completed.
So strtobool() can now be removed.

I still have some strtobool()s in mm.git, so I can't apply this.

Probably nobody can apply this to their tree at this stage. A resend
after 6.6-rc1 would be the simplest approach.



Let's do it then.

Note that in -next there is still some strtobool but only in tools/.
I thinks it is ok to leave it as-is.


git grep -w strtobool

tools/include/linux/string.h:int strtobool(const char *s, bool *res);
tools/lib/string.c: * More specifically, the first copied function was strtobool, which
tools/lib/string.c: * d0f1fed29e6e ("Add a strtobool function matching semantics of existing in kernel equivalents")
tools/lib/string.c: * strtobool - convert common user inputs into boolean values
tools/lib/string.c:int strtobool(const char *s, bool *res)
tools/perf/util/bpf-loader.c: err = strtobool(value, &bool_value);
