vsprintf: Move function documentation into header file
Now that this is not in common.h, perhaps it is acceptable to move this documentation into the header file. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

+ * strict_strtoul - convert a string to an unsigned long strictly
+ * @param cp The string to be converted
+ * @param base The number base to use
+ * @param res The converted result value
+ * @return 0 if conversion is successful and *res is set to the converted
+ * value, otherwise it returns -EINVAL and *res is set to 0.
+ *
+ * strict_strtoul converts a string to an unsigned long only if the
+ * string is really an unsigned long string, any string containing
+ * any invalid char at the tail will be rejected and -EINVAL is returned,
+ * only a newline char at the tail is acceptible because people generally
+ * change a module parameter in the following way:
+ *
+ * echo 1024 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak
+ *
+ * echo will append a newline to the tail.
+ *
+ * simple_strtoul just ignores the successive invalid characters and
+ * return the converted value of prefix part of the string.
