Cited commit converted simple_strtoul() to kstrtoul() as suggested by
the former's documentation. However, it also forced all the inputs to be
decimal resulting in user space breakage.
Fix by setting the base to '0' so that the base is automatically
detected.
Before:
# ip link add name br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
# echo "0x88a8" > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_protocol
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
After:
# ip link add name br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
# echo "0x88a8" > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_protocol
# echo $?
0

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
