e3e651c480 Merge patch series "add memdup_nul(), use it and memdup() in a few places"
Rasmus Villemoes <ravi@prevas.dk> says:

There are quite a few places where we allocate X+1 bytes, initialize
the first X bytes via memcpy() and then set the last byte to 0.

The kernel has a helper for that, kmemdup_nul(). Introduce a similar
one, and start making use of it in a few places. Also the existing
memdup() helper can be put to more use.

There are lots more places one could modify. But for code shared with
host tools, one would need to do some refactoring, putting memdup()
and memdup_nul() in their own str-util.c TU which could then also be
included in the tools build.

8c664d2135 lib/string.c: introduce memdup_nul() helper
This is completely analogous to the linux kernel's kmemdup_nul()
helper, apart from the lack of the gfp_t argument: Allocate a buffer
of size {len}+1, copy {len} bytes from the given buffer, and add a
final nul byte.

This pattern exists in a number of places, so this helper can reduce
some boilerplate code.

349d148f16 lib/string.c: drop pointless __HAVE_ARCH_STRDUP
There has never been an arch-specific optimized implementation of
str[n]dup, nor is there likely to ever be one, because unlike their
cousins strlen(), strcpy() and similar that simply read/write the
src/dst, the dup functions by definition involve memory allocation. So
drop this irrelevant cpp guard.

ca1c292d2e string: fix prototype of memdup()
It doesn't make sense to restrict memdup() to only return char*
pointers, especially when it is already defined to accept void*. This
makes it uglier to use to e.g. duplicate a struct.

Make it return void*, just as kmemdup() does in the kernel (and which
our kmemdup() in fact also does).

While in here, make a small optimization: memcpy() is defined to
return the destination register, so we write this in a way that the
compiler may do a tail call.

139f5292e7 string: add strdup_const and kstrdup_const
Extend Linux compat by adding kstrdup_const(), backed by lib/string.c.
This leverages U-Boots .rodata section on ARM64 to avoid pointlessly
duplicating const strings.

This is used by the Linux CCF_FULL port and may be useful elsewhere
in U-Boot.

9af869c414 lib: string: Implement strlcat
This introduces strlcat, which provides a safer interface than strncat. It
never copies more than its size bytes, including the terminating nul. In
addition, it never reads past dest[size - 1], even if dest is not
nul-terminated.

This also removes the stub for dwc3 now that we have a proper
implementation.

f72bdc60b2 sandbox: Rename strdup() functions

SDL, rename these functions within U-Boot.

dfe64e2c89 mtd: resync with Linux-3.7.1
This patch is essentially an update of u-boot MTD subsystem to
the state of Linux-3.7.1 with exclusion of some bits:

- the update is concentrated on NAND, no onenand or CFI/NOR/SPI
flashes interfaces are updated EXCEPT for API changes.

- new large NAND chips support is there, though some updates
have got in Linux-3.8.-rc1, (which will follow on top of this patch).

To produce this update I used tag v3.7.1 of linux-stable repository.

The update was made using application of relevant patches,
with changes relevant to U-Boot-only stuff sticked together
to keep bisectability. Then all changes were grouped together
to this patch.

b1f17bf5ff Add strcasecmp() and strncasecmp()
strncasecmp() is present as strnicmp() but disabled. Make it available
and define strcasecmp() also. There is a only a small performance penalty
to having strcasecmp() call strncasecmp(), so do this instead of a
standalone function, to save code space.

Update the prototype in arch-specific headers as needed to avoid warnings.
