[PATCH v15 3/5] rpmsg: core: match rpmsg device IDs by prefix

From: Shenwei Wang <[email protected]>

The current rpmsg_id_match() implementation requires an exact
string match between the driver id_table entry and the rpmsg
device name using strncmp() with RPMSG_NAME_SIZE.

This makes it impossible for a driver to match a group of
rpmsg devices sharing a common prefix (e.g. dynamically
suffixed channel names).

Update the matching logic to compare only the length of the
id->name string, allowing id_table entries to act as prefixes.
This enables drivers to bind to devices whose names start with
the specified id->name.

The implementation is copied from a reply by Mathieu.
