We have several places where we have the same sequence as above, that is
traddr, trsvcid and then host_iface, e.g. nvme_class_uevent,
nvmf_free_options, nvmf_get_address. So I'd say we should stick to this
and not start introducing a new ordering scheme.

What do you mean with this? We compare the host_iface with strcmp. It is
exactly the same thing we do with traddr and trsvcid.

As far I can tell Christoph is not a big fan of small one-line helpers
especially if there is only one call place. But as you said, that's his
call :)
