[PATCHv6 08/11] i2c: match vendorless strings on the internal string length

From: Kieran Bingham
Date: Tue Oct 25 2016 - 12:43:14 EST


If a user provides a shortened string to match a device to the sysfs i2c
interface it will match on the first string that contains that string
prefix.

for example:
echo a 0x68 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-2/new_device

will match as3711, as3722, and ak8975 incorrectly.
