[PATCH] lib/string: sysfs_streq works case insensitively

From: Gioh Kim
Date: Mon Apr 12 2021 - 07:33:21 EST


As the name shows, it checks the strings inputed from sysfs.
It should work for both case-sensitive filesystem and
case-insensitive filesystem. Therefore sysfs_streq should work
case-insensitively.
