compatible string if no exact match based on the IO address is found.
This leaves out the need to patch auxdata for each driver when adding
new SoCs. And it also reprotedly fixes the issue of passing auxdata
to a child if the parent instantiates the child from DT as discussed
in the "[PATCH] of/platform: Allow secondary compatible match in
of_dev_lookup" mailing list thread.
As a minimal use case, let's also convert omap pinctrl auxdatato
use a generic match.
There is no need to get this in to the v4.6-rc cycle and it can wait
for v4.7 merge window. Note that these changes have now been sitting
in Linux next for about two weeks so far as I wanted to make sure no
new issues are popping up.

Merge "non urgent auxdata fix for v4.7 merge window" from Tony Lindgren:
Device tree auxdata handling fix that allows a match based on the
compatible string if no exact match based on the IO address is found.
This leaves out the need to patch auxdata for each driver when adding
new SoCs. And it also reprotedly fixes the issue of passing auxdata
to a child if the parent instantiates the child from DT as discussed
in the "[PATCH] of/platform: Allow secondary compatible match in
of_dev_lookup" mailing list thread.
As a minimal use case, let's also convert omap pinctrl auxdatato
use a generic match.
