Subject: staging: comedi: Fix reversed test in comedi_device_attach()
From: Ian Abbott <[email protected]>
commit 80eb7a506fdcea08f86c9dfc7c638303bf02a3c8 upstream.
Commit 3902a370281d2f2b130f141e8cf94eab40125769 (staging: comedi:
refactor comedi_device_attach() a bit) by yours truly introduced an
inverted logic bug in comedi_device_attach() for the case where the
driver expects the device to be configured by driver name rather than
board name. The result of a strcmp() is being tested incorrectly. Fix
it.
Thanks to Stephen N Chivers for discovering the bug and suggesting the
fix.
