[PATCH 3.2 17/34] dmi: add support for exact DMI matches in addition to substring matching

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.59-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 5017b2851373ee15c7035151853bb1448800cae2 upstream.

dmi_match() considers a substring match to be a successful match.  This is
not always sufficient to distinguish between DMI data for different
systems.  Add support for exact string matching using strcmp() in addition
to the substring matching using strstr().

The specific use case in the i915 driver is to allow us to use an exact
match for D510MO, without also incorrectly matching D510MOV:

  {
	.ident = "Intel D510MO",
	.matches = {
		DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "Intel"),
		DMI_EXACT_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "D510MO"),
	},
  }
