[PATCH] fbdev/sh_mobile_lcdcfb: Replace deprecated simple_strtol with kstrtol

This patch replaces the use of the deprecated simple_strtol [1] function
in the sh_mobile_lcdcfb.c file with the recommended kstrtol function.
This change improves error handling and boundary checks.

This is completely wrong, and obviously not tested at all.

The recommended replacements are *not* drop-in replacements. Look into
the documentation of the functions.
