Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: huawei-wmi: Fix misuse of strcmp() function
Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2019 13:25:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191015182549.GA13772@embeddedor> (raw)

Comparing the result of strcmp directly with 1 may cause it to be
misinterpreted. Note that strcmp may return an integer besides -1,
0, or 1.

Fix this by returning -ENODEV only when strcmp() returns a value
other than 0.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1487035 ("Misuse of memcmp-style function")
Fixes: b7527d0f4502 ("platform/x86: huawei-wmi: Add battery charging thresholds")
