[PATCH 1/2] checkpatch: fix wildcard DT compatible string checking

[Rob Herring]

From: Rob Herring <robh@xxxxxxxxxx>

We attempt to search for compatible strings which use a variable
token in the documented name such as <chip> or <soc>. While this
was attempted to be handled, it's utterly broken.

The desired forms of matching are:

vendor,<chip>-*
vendor,name<part#>-*

For <chip>, lower case characters and numbers are permitted. For
<part#>, only numeric values are allowed.

With this change, the number of missing compatible strings reported in
arch/arm/boot/dts is reduced from 1071 to 960.
