[PATCH 1/2] of: fix race when matching drivers

[Grant Likely]

From: Milton Miller <miltonm at bga.com>

If two drivers are probing devices at the same time, both will write
their match table result to the dev->of_match cache at the same time.

Only write the result if the device matches.

In a thread titled "SBus devices sometimes detected, sometimes not",
Meelis reported his SBus hme was not detected about 50% of the time.
>From the debug suggested by Grant it was obvious another driver matched
some devices between the call to match the hme and the hme discovery
failling.

[grant.likely: modified to only call of_match_device() once]
