cmd: bcb: Use strcmp() instead of strncmp() for string literals
Quote from https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1104244/#2210814:
----------8<-----------
strncmp() is chosen for the sake of paranoid/defensive programming.
Indeed, strncmp() is not really needed when comparing a variable
with a string literal. We expect strcmp() to behave safely even if the
string variable is not NUL-terminated.
In the same scenario, Linux v5.2-rc7 uses both strcmp() and strncmp(),
but the frequency of strcmp() is higher:
$ git --version
git version 2.22.0
$ (Linux 5.2-rc7) git grep -En 'strncmp\([^"]*"[[:alnum:]]+"' | wc -l
1066
$ (Linux 5.2-rc7) git grep -En 'strcmp\([^"]*"[[:alnum:]]+"' | wc -l
1968
A quick "strcmp vs strncmp" object size test shows that strcmp()
generates smaller memory footprint (gcc-8, x86_64):
$ (U-Boot) size cmd/bcb-strncmp.o cmd/bcb-strcmp.o
text data bss dec hex filename
3373 400 2048 5821 16bd cmd/bcb-strncmp.o
3314 400 2048 5762 1682 cmd/bcb-strcmp.o
So, overall, I agree to use strcmp() whenever variables are compared
with string literals.
