From e1fe7b6a7b376bfb54558725ddb2a89aaaa4adcc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heikki Krogerus Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2017 13:56:46 +0200 Subject: lib/string: add sysfs_match_string helper Make a simple helper for matching strings with sysfs attribute files. In most parts the same as match_string(), except sysfs_match_string() uses sysfs_streq() instead of strcmp() for matching. This is more convenient when used with sysfs attributes.
