[PATCH v1 1/1] libnvdimm: Don't use GUID APIs against raw buffer

From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Thu Apr 15 2021 - 10:38:00 EST


Strictly speaking the comparison between guid_t and raw buffer
is not correct. Return to plain memcmp() since the data structures
haven't changed to use uuid_t / guid_t the current state of affairs
is inconsistent. Either it should be changed altogether or left
as is.
