From: Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss_linux@xxxxxxx>
Subject: printk: fix parsing of "brl=" option
Commit bbeddf52adc1 ("printk: move braille console support into separate
braille.[ch] files") moved the parsing of braille-related options into
_braille_console_setup(), changing the type of variable str from char* to
char**. In this commit, memcmp(str, "brl,", 4) was correctly updated to
memcmp(*str, "brl,", 4) but not memcmp(str, "brl=", 4).
Update the code to make "brl=" option work again and replace memcmp() with
strncmp() to make the compiler able to detect such an issue.
Fixes: bbeddf52adc1 ("printk: move braille console support into separate braille.[ch] files")
