Revert "of: match by compatible property first"

This reverts commit cd2cb90557f06837e4d7b601f196bf3fa21399e9.

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 cd2cb90557f0.

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."
