Subject: [PATCH v6 07/11] drivers/base: make device_find_child_by_name()
 compatible with sysfs inputs

Use sysfs_streq() in device_find_child_by_name() to allow it to use a
sysfs input string that might contain a trailing newline.

The other "device by name" interfaces,
{bus,driver,class}_find_device_by_name(), already account for sysfs
strings.
