From 418e0a3551bbef5b221705b0e5b8412cdc0afd39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Shevchenko Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2021 14:42:24 +0200 Subject: lib/string_helpers: Introduce kasprintf_strarray() We have a few users already that basically want to have array of sequential strings to be allocated and filled. Provide a helper for them (basically adjusted version from gpio-mockup.c).
