Hi David
What do you mean you would use the strlen, can you give some example
code instead?
Arend van Spriel wanted me to change the title before.
So this should really continue the conversation in that new mail. And
then you can also see my other comments.
And I have the same type of objection to the:
brcmf_firmware_path[0] == '\0'

Kind regards
