+Subject: [PATCH] checks: fix simple-bus compatible matching
+
+Since commit 7975f6422260 ("Fix widespread incorrect use of strneq(),
+replace with new strprefixeq()") simple-bus checks have been silently
+skipped. The problem was 'end - str' is one more than the string length
+and the strnlen in strprefixeq fails. This can't be fixed simply by
+subtracting one as it is possible to have multiple '\0' at the end of
+the property. Fix this by making the 'compatible' property string list
+check a dependency, and then we can assume the property is null
+terminated and we can just use streq() for comparisons.
+
+Add some tests so the problem doesn't happen again.
+
