I really don't see the point in having an exported symbol for this. It's
a simple comparison and the result is even longer than the original. The
*only* reason why this helper exists seems to be because it is getting
used in *_find_device() callbacks.

Honestly, I don't see a reason why this should be applied. And frankly,
why bother making all these changes. It's a waste of time, in my
opinion.
