[PATCH 3.13 095/140] tpm/tpm_ppi: Do not compare strcmp(a,b) == -1

From: Peter Huewe <PeterHuewe@gmx.de>

commit 747d35bd9bb4ae6bd74b19baa5bbe32f3e0cee11 upstream.

Depending on the implementation strcmp might return the difference between
two strings not only -1,0,1 consequently
if (strcmp (a,b) == -1)
might lead to taking the wrong branch

-> compare with < 0 instead,
which in any case is more canonical.
