Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function
Add a new sysfs_streq() string comparison function, which ignores the trailing newlines found in sysfs inputs. By example: sysfs_streq("a", "b") ==> false sysfs_streq("a", "a") ==> true sysfs_streq("a", "a\n") ==> true sysfs_streq("a\n", "a") ==> true This is intended to simplify parsing of sysfs inputs, letting them avoid the need to manually strip off newlines from inputs.
