[PATCH] kbuild: Fix -Wimplicit-function-declaration in license_is_gpl_compatible

From: Sam James
Date: Wed Nov 16 2022 - 13:27:03 EST


Add missing <string.h> include for strcmp.

Clang 16 makes -Wimplicit-function-declaration an error by default. Unfortunately,
out of tree modules may use this in configure scripts, which means failure
might cause silent miscompilation or misconfiguration.

For more information, see LWN.net [0] or LLVM's Discourse [1], gentoo-dev@ [2],
or the (new) c-std-porting mailing list [3].
