The patch titled
Subject: lib: string: Make all calls to strnicmp into calls to strncasecmp
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
lib-string-make-all-calls-to-strnicmp-into-calls-to-strncasecmp.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: lib: string: Make all calls to strnicmp into calls to strncasecmp
The previous patch made strnicmp into a wrapper for strncasecmp. This
patch makes all in-tree users of strnicmp call strncasecmp directly, while
still making sure that the strnicmp symbol can be used by out-of-tree
modules. It should be considered a temporary hack until all in-tree
callers have been converted.
