Note that this is effectively just device_match_of_node(), although I 
guess there is an argument that having a nice consistent set of 
component_match API helpers might be worth more than a tiny code saving 
by borrowing one from a different API.

Either way, however, I don't think there's any good argument for 
instantiating separate copies of these functions in every driver that 
uses them. If they're used as callbacks then they can't actually be 
inlined anyway, so they may as well be exported from component.c as 
normal so that the code really is shared (plus then there's nice 
symmetry with the aforementioned device_match API helpers too).

Thanks,
Robin.
