[PATCH] of: match the compatible in the order set by the dts file

[Huang Shijie]

If we set the uart compatible in the dts file like this:
   ------------------------------------------------------
    compatible = "fsl,imx6q-uart", "fsl,imx21-uart";
   ------------------------------------------------------

and we set the uart compatible in the uart driver like this:
   ------------------------------------------------------
	{ .compatible = "fsl,imx1-uart", ... },
	{ .compatible = "fsl,imx21-uart", ... },
	{ .compatible = "fsl,imx6q-uart", ... },
	{ /* sentinel */ }
   ------------------------------------------------------

the current code will match the "fsl,imx21-uart" in the end.

Of course, this is not what we want. We want it to match the "fsl,imx6q-uart".

This patch rewrites the match code, and make it to check the compatible
in the order set by the DTS file.
