Commit bbeddf52adc1 ("printk: move braille console support into separate
braille.[ch] files") moved the parsing of braille-related options into
_braille_console_setup(), changing the type of variable str from char*
to char**. In this commit, memcmp(str, "brl,", 4) was correctly updated
to memcmp(*str, "brl,", 4) but not memcmp(str, "brl=", 4).

Update the code to make "brl=" option work again.

Thanks.

likely the first memcmp here should be strcmp
and the second should be strncmp

That would have caused the compiler to show
the defect.

The first memcmp should also be a strncmp (there is a comma after brl).
Anyway I agree with your proposition and will send a v2 with strncmp.
