[PATCH v4 3/3] kdb: Remove fallback interpretation of arbitrary numbers as hex

From: Nir Lichtman <hidden>
Date: 2024-10-28 19:22:28
Also in: linux-kernel-mentees, lkml
Subsystem: kgdb / kdb /debug_core, the rest · Maintainers: Jason Wessel, Daniel Thompson, Linus Torvalds

Remove logic that enables a fallback of interpreting numbers supplied in KDB CLI
to be interpreted as hex without explicit "0x" prefix as this can be confusing
for the end users.
