of: refactor of_modalias_node() and remove explicit match table.
This patch tightens up the behaviour of of_modalias_node() to be more predicatable and to eliminate the explicit of_modalias_tablep[] that is currently used to override the first entry in the compatible list of a device. The override table was needed originally because spi and i2c drivers had no way to do of-style matching. Now that all devices can have an of_node pointer, and all drivers can have an of_match_table, the explicit override table is no longer needed because each driver can specify its own OF-style match data. The mpc8349emitx-mcu driver is modified to explicitly specify the correct device to bind against. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

- * of_modalias_table: Table of explicit compatible ==> modalias mappings
- *
- * This table allows particulare compatible property values to be mapped
- * to modalias strings. This is useful for busses which do not directly
- * understand the OF device tree but are populated based on data contained
- * within the device tree. SPI and I2C are the two current users of this
- * table.
- *
- * In most cases, devices do not need to be listed in this table because
- * the modalias value can be derived directly from the compatible table.
- * However, if for any reason a value cannot be derived, then this table
- * provides a method to override the implicit derivation.
- *
- * At the moment, a single table is used for all bus types because it is
- * assumed that the data size is small and that the compatible values
- * should already be distinct enough to differentiate between SPI, I2C
- * and other devices.
