> Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct
> device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the
> of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time.  This was unsafe
> because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver.  If
> two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the
> same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get
> overwritten.
> 
> This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to
> call of_match_device() directly instead.
