of: fix race when matching drivers
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. Reported-by: Meelis Roos <mroos@linux.ee> Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> [grant.likely: modified to only call of_match_device() once] Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
