Subject: kbuild: fix -Wimplicit-function-declaration in license_is_gpl_compatible

From: Sam James <[email protected]>

commit 50c697215a8cc22f0e58c88f06f2716c05a26e85 upstream.

Add missing <linux/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].
