Revert "driver-core: platform: probe of-devices only using list of compatibles"



This reverts commit 67d02a1b

This should reallow binding of of-devices by name.

It turned out that there are valid reasons (e.g. step by step conversion
to device tree probing using auxdata) to bind of-instantiated devices to
drivers by name. So revert to the original logic.
