    This reverts commit 107a84e6.
    
    Meelis Roos reports a regression since 3.5-rc5 that stops Sun Fire V100
    and Sun Netra X1 sparc64 machines from booting, hanging after enabling
    serial console.  He bisected it to commit 107a84e6.
    
    Rob Herring explains:
     "The problem is match combinations of compatible plus name and/or type
      fail to match correctly.  I have a fix for this, but given how late it
      is for 3.5 I think it is best to revert this for now.  There could be
      other cases that rely on the current although wrong behavior.  I will
      post an updated version for 3.6."
