Subject: string: correct prototype of strchrnul()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=210fedfcfc1a146faac67dddb3581c6b9dcd01b4;p=thirdparty%2Fu-boot.git

string: correct prototype of strchrnul()

Both glibc's (where this originated as a GNU extension) and the
kernel's versions of strchrnul() return "char *", not "const
char *". That also makes it consistent with the standard strchr()
function.
