This series introduces a family of generic string case conversion functions. This kind of functionality is needed in several places in the kernel. Right now, everybody seems to be implementing their own copy of this functionality. Based on the discussion of the previous version of this series[1] and the use cases found in the kernel, it does look like having several flavours of case conversion

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.

Add a collection of generic functions to convert strings to lowercase or uppercase. Changing the case of a string (with or without copying it first) seems to be a recurring requirement in the kernel that is currently being solved by several duplicated implementations doing the same thing. This change aims at reducing this code duplication. The new functions are void strlcpytoupper(char *dst,
