From: Yoshihiro Shimoda yoshihiro.shimoda.uh@renesas.com Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2019 16:55:10 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] phy: renesas: rcar-gen3-usb2: Fix sysfs interface of "role"

Since the role_store() uses strncmp(), it's possible to refer out-of-memory if the sysfs data size is smaller than strlen("host"). This patch fixes it by using sysfs_streq() instead of strncmp().
