I missed it and added few words for the changelog.

netfilter: fix string extension for case insensitive pattern matching
The flag XT_STRING_FLAG_IGNORECASE indicates case insensitive string
matching.
netfilter can find cmd.exe, Cmd.exe, cMd.exe and etc easily.
Also this patch won't break compatibility since we have 2 bytes space
between invert and config, due to config was 8 bytes aligned.
So we can put a new value 'flags' in xt_string_info between invert and
config safely.
If previous version of iptables interact with this kernel, to kernel
side, flags will be set to zero and to user side, flags will be ignored.
