The family and device comparisons were using memcmp(), but this could
lead to Out-of-bounds reads when the length was larger than the
buffers being compared. Since these appear to always be NUL-terminated
strings, just use strcmp() instead.

This was found with Clang under LTO:

Looks good, thanks!  I'm not sure why the tests used memcmp() like that. 
Indeed, all the strings are statically allocated and null-terminated.
