[PATCH v2] scsi: fcoe: use sysfs_match_string over fcoe_parse_mode

From: Justin Stitt
Date: Tue Dec 12 2023 - 18:19:38 EST


Instead of copying @buf into a new buffer and carefully managing its
newline/null-terminating status, we can just use sysfs_match_string()
as it uses sysfs_streq() internally which handles newline/null-term:

| /**
| * sysfs_streq - return true if strings are equal, modulo trailing newline
| * @s1: one string
| * @s2: another string
| *
| * This routine returns true iff two strings are equal, treating both
| * NUL and newline-then-NUL as equivalent string terminations. It's
| * geared for use with sysfs input strings, which generally terminate
| * with newlines but are compared against values without newlines.
| */
| bool sysfs_streq(const char *s1, const char *s2)
| ...

Then entirely drop the now unused fcoe_parse_mode, being careful to
change if condition from checking for FIP_CONN_TYPE_UNKNOWN to < 0 as
sysfs_match_string can return -EINVAL. Also check explicitly if
ctlr->mode is equal to FIP_CONN_TYPE_UNKNOWN -- this is probably
preferred to "<=" as the behavior is more obvious while maintaining
functionality.

To get the compiler not to complain, make fip_conn_type_names
const char * const. Perhaps, this should also be done for
fcf_state_names.

This also removes an instance of strncpy() which helps [1].

Changes in v2:
- update if-cond to check for unknown type (thanks Kees)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231211-strncpy-drivers-scsi-fcoe-fcoe_sysfs-c-v1-1-73b942238396@xxxxxxxxxx

Builds upon patch and feedback from [2]:

However, this is different enough to warrant its own patch and not be a
continuation.
