H A Dbase.cbc51b0c2 Tue Jul 10 14:49:32 CDT 2012 Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Revert "of: match by compatible property first"

This reverts commit 107a84e61cdd3406c842a0e4be7efffd3a05dba6.

Meelis Roos reports a regression since 3.5-rc5 that stops Sun Fire V100
and Sun Netra X1 sparc64 machines from booting, hanging after enabling
serial console. He bisected it to commit 107a84e61cdd.

Rob Herring explains:
"The problem is match combinations of compatible plus name and/or type
fail to match correctly. I have a fix for this, but given how late it
is for 3.5 I think it is best to revert this for now. There could be
other cases that rely on the current although wrong behavior. I will
post an updated version for 3.6."
