The PMD_INFO_STRING constant string is not guaranteed to appear in the
output binary immediately after an unprintable character. Because of
this, in some cases the information for a driver could be missed by the
PMD info script as it only checks for the prefix at the start of strings
that it finds. Change the script to use "s.find()" rather than
"s.startswith()" to fix this issue.
