How should a connection be constructed from the data structure "sdio_device_id"
to the corresponding device information for such an use case?

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] a
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

After introducing generic strltolower() and strtolower(), spk_strlwr()
is no longer needed.

Further update suggestions were taken into account
after a patch was applied from static source code analysis.

The kfree() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then
returns immediately. Thus the test around the calls is not needed.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

A few variables were assigned a null pointer despite of the detail
that they were immediately reassigned by the following statement.
Thus remove such unnecessary assignments.
