The reason you are on Cc is that Thierry added you on last patch
version. I cannot see how above commit should be related with this
one, but maybe Thierry can comment on it.

This patch deals with matching a node with more than one compatible
string on a (unordered) list of matches. Although not related to your
issue, it is good to hear that it causes no harm on DT-mature archs :)

I tested it with ARM and l2x0 cache controllers, where the specific
of_device_id (marvell,tauros3-cache) is sorted after the generic
one (arm,pl310-cache). The corresponding node's property is
compatible = "marvell,tauros3-cache", "arm,pl310-cache".

Without this patch, of_match_node always hits the first match that
equals _any_ of the above compatible strings. With this patch, it
hits the matches _in order_ of the compatible strings.
