[PATCH 1/2] lib: add __sysfs_match_string_with_gaps() helper
From: Alexandru Ardelean
Date: Mon Apr 22 2019 - 04:33:08 EST
This helper is similar to __sysfs_match_string() with the exception that it
ignores NULL elements within the array.
It takes an extra parameter (called `gaps`) which when true will ignore
the NULL elements. When false, this function behaves exactly like
`__sysfs_match_string()`.
