Subject: [PATCH 3.16 165/192] misc: ad525x_dpot: Fix the enabling of the
 "otpXen" attributes

3.16.49-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Bogdan Nechita <dan.bogdan.nechita@...il.com>

commit 1bb850a1b7f68b66361e658e334f9fdf8231f17d upstream.

Currently writing the attributes with "echo" will result in comparing:
"enabled\n" with "enabled\0" and attribute is always set to false.

Use the sysfs_streq() instead because it treats both NUL and
new-line-then-NUL as equivalent string terminations.
