Subject: [PATCH 01/15] tpm/tpm_ppi: Do not compare strcmp(a,b) == -1
Date: Sat,  4 Jan 2014 03:44:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1388803489-13258-1-git-send-email-peterhuewe@gmx.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <201401040335.04980.PeterHuewe@gmx.de>

From: Peter Huewe <PeterHuewe@gmx.de>

Depending on the implementation strcmp might return the difference between
two strings not only -1,0,1 consequently
 if (strcmp (a,b) == -1)
might lead to taking the wrong branch

-> compare with < 0  instead,
which in any case is more canonical.
