Subject: string: Use memcpy() within memmove() when we can
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/img/static/git-favicon.png?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cb0eae8cf8aaca76910dee4c7eb536d0814d1bd2;p=u-boot.git

string: Use memcpy() within memmove() when we can

A common use of memmove() can be handled by memcpy(). Also memcpy()
includes an optimisation for large sizes: it copies a word at a time. So
we can get a speed-up by calling memcpy() to handle our move in this case.

Update memmove() to call memcpy() if the destination is before the source.
