[Nouveau] [PATCH 1/6] lib: string: add function strtolower()

[Markus Mayer]

Add a function called strtolower() to convert strings to lower case
in-place, overwriting the original string.

This seems to be a recurring requirement in the kernel that is
currently being solved by several duplicated implementations doing the
same thing.
