What in the whole wide world does case-sensitivity or lack thereof of
filesystems have to do with whether or not the sysfs_streq API should
work case sensitively or not?

The sysfs filesystem itself (1) works like any real UNIX file system
(i.e. case sensitively) and (2) sysfs_streq is not in any way involved
in readdir or lookups or other such filename operations in sysfs.

Very confused,
