[PATCH v4 1/2] platform/mellanox: mlxbf-pmc: Remove newline char from event name input
From: Shravan Kumar Ramani
Date: Wed Jul 02 2025 - 06:10:00 EST
Since the input string passed via the command line appends a newline char,
it needs to be removed before comparison with the event_list.
Fixes: 1a218d312e65 ("platform/mellanox: mlxbf-pmc: Add Mellanox BlueField PMC driver")
