Subject: gpu: nova-core: use CStr::from_bytes_until_nul() and remove util.rs
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=da8264ce6c5c02b78f95d31021e942ab38d8dd39;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

gpu: nova-core: use CStr::from_bytes_until_nul() and remove util.rs

The util.rs module contained a single helper function,
str_from_null_terminated(), which duplicated functionality that is now
available in core::ffi::CStr.

Specifically, CStr::from_bytes_until_nul() is available in the kernel's
minimum supported Rust version (1.78.0), so it time to stop using this
custom workaround.
