You're right - It looks like the only way to do this correctly is to match the strncasecmp and the strlen of both strings. So really we should be using sysfs_streq(). The only limitation there is that this original code was performing a case-insensitive compare. Lee - Where did the requirement for case insensitive matching come from in your original code. Is it expected to be case-insensitive from the I2C sysfs interface? or are dt-nodes expected to be case-sensitive? Does anyone see reason that this shouldn't be using sysfs_streq()? or do we need a sysfs_strcaseeq()... > Cheers, > Peter >

Compatible strings are always lower-case. > Does anyone see reason that this shouldn't be using sysfs_streq()? or do > we need a sysfs_strcaseeq()... ... but I don't see an issue with not being case sensitive. Certainly if it makes the logic easier/more consistent.

If a user provides a shortened string to match a device to the sysfs i2c interface it will match on the first string that contains that string prefix. for example: echo a 0x68 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-2/new_device will match as3711, as3722, and ak8975 incorrectly.
