Yes, I've checked several parts of it. Perhaps I did miss something but
simple_strtoull() doc reads: use kstrtox() instead. Thus the
strsplit_u32() makes use of kstrtox().

Hmm.. doc says that it stops at the first non-digit character. Will
re-check.

There is a difference:

// get_options
int ints[5];

s = get_options(str, ARRAY_SIZE(ints), ints);

// strsplit_u32()
u32 *tkns, num_tkns;

ret = strsplit_u32(str, delim, &tkns, &num_tkns);

Nothing has been told upfront for in the second case.
