There are users of a simple string matching in the array. Let's do a common helper for that.
Several users are updated in the series. The series is compile tested. There is still a question what function should return. There are variants: -1, -EINVAL, -ENODATA, something else? Since v3: - rebase on top of latest linux-next - add Rafael's Ack Since v2: - slightly modify implementation of the helper: - rename len -> n in prototype (Sergey) - move to for-loop (Rasmus) - change 0 -> -1 to iterate over NULL-terminated arrays (Rasmus) - add patch 9 from Heikki - append tags Since v1: - convert few more users to get helper useful Andy Shevchenko (8): lib/string: introduce match_string() helper device property: convert to use match_string() helper pinctrl: convert to use match_string() helper drm/edid: convert to use match_string() helper power: charger_manager: convert to use match_string() helper power: ab8500: convert to use match_string() helper ata: hpt366: convert to use match_string() helper ide: hpt366: convert to use match_string() helper Heikki Krogerus (1): usb: common: convert to use match_string() helper drivers/ata/pata_hpt366.c | 13 +++++-------- drivers/base/property.c | 10 ++-------- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c | 17 ++++++----------- drivers/ide/hpt366.c | 9 ++------- drivers/pinctrl/pinmux.c | 13 +++---------- drivers/power/ab8500_btemp.c | 15 +++++---------- drivers/power/ab8500_charger.c | 16 +++++----------- drivers/power/ab8500_fg.c | 15 +++++---------- drivers/power/abx500_chargalg.c | 14 +++++--------- drivers/power/charger-manager.c | 27 ++++----------------------- drivers/usb/common/common.c | 22 ++++++++-------------- include/linux/string.h | 2 ++ lib/string.c | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 13 files changed, 78 insertions(+), 121 deletions(-) -- 2.7.0.rc3
