[PATCH] of: give priority to the compatible match in __of_match_node()

When the device node do have a compatible property, we definitely
prefer the compatible match besides the type and name. Only if
there is no such a match, we then consider the candidate which
doesn't have compatible entry but do match the type or name with
the device node.

This is based on a patch from Sebastian Hesselbarth.
  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/319434/

I did some code refactoring and also fixed a bug in the original patch.
