[PATCH 2/6] of: add function to check against a list of compatible strings

["Heiko Stübner" <heiko-4mtYJXux2i+zQB+pC5nmwQ@public.gmane.org>]

The basic of functions already provide a of_device_is_compatible to check
if a device's compatible property contains a specific one. But sometimes
it's also necessary to check if the device is compatible to one out of a
list of compatible devices.

Therefore add of_device_is_any_of that reuses the compatible check of
of_device_is_compatible but checks against a list of compatible strings
without the locking overhead of calling of_device_is_compatible multiple
times.
