[PATCH] of: i2c: improve last resort compatible entry selection

[Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@ru.mvista.com>]

Currently of_i2c will select first compatible property as a last resort
option. This isn't best choice though, because generic compatible entries
are listed last, not first. For example, two compatible entries given for
the MCU node:

"fsl,mc9s08qg8-mpc837xrdb", "fsl,mcu-mpc8349emitx";

Since no sane driver will ever match specific devices, what we want is
to select most generic option (last). Then driver may call
of_device_is_compatible() if it is really interested in details.

Other options are: start filling the exceptions list, or add  "linux,..."
compatible entry to the device tree.
