[PATCH 15/15] RFC: Change simple_strtoul() et al to default to hex

[Simon Glass]

Most U-Boot commands use hex for numeric values. However there are quite a
few places where a base of '0' is given, meaning to use the default.

At present the default input base is actually decimal, which seems
confusing. Change this to hex.

NOTE: This is a breaking change, for discussion only. It needs more
thought and careful checking of each use. Do not apply.

Also there is no documentation update here, since it is not yet clear what
to say.
