Do you really want to check for a prefix, that it that conf starts with
"dtuart"?

If you want to check for an exact string match, you need to include the
trailing \0!
In that case just use "strcmp()" as there is (AFAIK) not reason to use
the n-variant as one of your string is a constant already and thus the
comparison will terminate when the \0 of that const-string is reached.
