Of course. Thanks, Ben.

v1->v2: Use strlcpy() to ensure s[i].name be null-termination.

1. In netdev_boot_setup_add(), a long name will leak.
   ex. : dev=21,0x1234,0x1234,0x2345,eth123456789verylongname.........
2. In netdev_boot_setup_check(), mismatch will happen if s[i].name
   is a substring of dev->name.
   ex. : dev=...eth1 dev=...eth11
