H A Dwmi.c8b14d7b2 Sun Nov 28 15:46:50 CST 2010 Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@holoscopio.com> wmi: use memcmp instead of strncmp to compare GUIDs

While looking for the duplicates in /sys/class/wmi/, I couldn't find
them. The code that looks for duplicates uses strncmp in a binary GUID,
which may contain zero bytes. The right function is memcmp, which is
also used in another section of wmi code.

It was finding 49142400-C6A3-40FA-BADB-8A2652834100 as a duplicate of
39142400-C6A3-40FA-BADB-8A2652834100. Since the first byte is the fourth
printed, they were found as equal by strncmp.
