I thought it was implied that the '-' mentioned here is the one before the
suffix. I made it more explicit.

Ack.

Shouldn't matter much? I suppose using strrchr() as you suggested
requires one less pass.

I believe this line could be moved out of the for-loop. Otherwise it
looks much more concise compared to my version. I'll omit the comment
though, as it is just rehashing the kerneldoc description, and now
that the function is so short, it shouldn't be hard to read.

I'll add you as "Suggested-by".
