From: Kevin Hao <haokexin@gmail.com>

In the current implementation of __of_match_node(), it will compare
each given match entry against all the node's compatible strings
with of_device_is_compatible().

To achieve multiple compatible strings per node with ordering from
specific to generic, this requires given matches to be ordered from
specific to generic. For most of the drivers this is not true and
also an alphabetical ordering is more sane there.

Therefore, we define a following priority order for the match, and
then scan all the entries to find the best match.
  1. specific compatible && type && name
  2. specific compatible && type
  3. specific compatible && name
  4. specific compatible
  5. general compatible && type && name
  6. general compatible && type
  7. general compatible && name
  8. general compatible
  9. type && name
  10. type
  11. name

This is based on some pseudo-codes provided by Grant Likely.
