Tue May 11 09:12:32 PDT 2021


From: Sam Tebbs <sam.tebbs at arm.com>

Import the latest version of the former Cortex Strings - now
Arm Optimized Routines - strcmp function based on the upstream
code of string/aarch64/strcmp.S at commit afd6244 from
https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines
