Replace deprecated simple_strtol() calls with kstrtoint() in timeout_store() and firmware_loading_store() functions to improve input validation and error handling. The simple_strtol() function does not provide proper error checking for invalid input, while kstrtoint() returns an error for malformed strings. This change adds proper validation for user input from sysfs attributes, returning -EINVAL for invalid numeric strings instead of silently accepting potentially malformed input. The behavior for valid numeric input remains unchanged. The simple_strtol() function is deprecated in favor of kstrtoint() family functions which provide better error handling and are recommended for new code and replacements.

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 reStructuredText 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.
