[RFC PATCH 25/57] drivers: Add generic match by name helper

[Suzuki K Poulose]

Add a generic helper to match a device by its name. Also use the generic
match by device name helper for bus_find_device_by_name. Since the new
match function is also exported, let us convert this to a static inline
function.
