[PATCH] regmap: dev_get_regmap_match(): fix string comparison
From: Marc Kleine-Budde
Date:  Fri Jul 03 2020 - 06:33:21 EST
This function is used by dev_get_regmap() to retrieve a regmap for the
specified device. If the device has more than one regmap, the name parameter
can be used to specify one.
The code here uses a pointer comparison to check for equal strings. This
however will probably always fail, as the regmap->name is allocated via
kstrdup_const() from the regmap's config->name.
Fix this by using strcmp() instead.

Hey,
I stumbled over this by accident. AFAICS there's no-one on the kernel making
use of the "name" parameter.
regrads,
Marc
