[PATCH 1/6] driver: make struct bus_type::match optional

Newly introduce soc_bus_type doesn't define .match, which would crash
once a driver is registered on that bus. Do as Linux does and treat a
non-existent match callback as meaning that all drivers should be
matched and that the probe function should indicate via -ENODEV/-ENXIO
whether a device is indeed suitable.
