Revert "net: stmmac: use sysfs_streq() instead of strncmp()"
This reverts commit f72cd76b. This patch is so broken, it hurts. Apparently no one reviewed it and it passed the build testing (because the code was compiled out), but it was obviously never compile-tested, since it produces the following build error, due to an incomplete conversion where an extra argument was left, although the function being called was left: stmmac_main.c: In function ‘stmmac_cmdline_opt’: stmmac_main.c:7586:28: error: too many arguments to function ‘sysfs_streq’ 7586 | } else if (sysfs_streq(opt, "pause:", 6)) { | ^~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from ../include/linux/bitmap.h:11, from ../include/linux/cpumask.h:12, from ../include/linux/smp.h:13, from ../include/linux/lockdep.h:14, from ../include/linux/mutex.h:17, from ../include/linux/notifier.h:14, from ../include/linux/clk.h:14, from ../drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c:17: ../include/linux/string.h:185:13: note: declared here 185 | extern bool sysfs_streq(const char *s1, const char *s2); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ What's even worse is that the patch is flat out wrong. The stmmac_cmdline_opt() function does not parse sysfs input, but cmdline input such as "stmmaceth=tc:1,pause:1". The pattern of using strsep() followed by strncmp() for such strings is not unique to stmmac, it can also be found mainly in drivers under drivers/video/fbdev/. With strncmp("tc:", 3), the code matches on the "tc:1" token properly. With sysfs_streq("tc:"), it doesn't.
