[PATCH v3 1/3] lib/string: introduce ascii2utf16le() helper

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For USB string descriptors we need to convert ASCII strings to UTF16-LE.
Therefore make a simple helper function (based on ascii2desc from
drivers/usb/core/hcd.c) for that purpose.
