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.
