The sdio_match_device() is what is being used to match the device to
its sdio_driver, which is being called from the sdio_bus_type's
->match() callback.

In regards to the DT compatible strings from a drivers'
.of_match_table, that is currently left to be matched by the sdio
driver's ->probe() function internally, by calling
of_driver_match_device().

In other words, I think what Jerome has suggested here seems
reasonable to me. Matching on "SDIO_ANY_ID" would work too, but I
think it's better with a poor filter like SDIO_VENDOR_ID_SILABS*,
rather than none.

An entirely different and new approach would be to extend
sdio_match_device() to call of_driver_match_device() too. However, in
that case we would also need to add a new corresponding ->probe()
callback for the sdio_driver, as the current one takes a const struct
sdio_device_id, which doesn't work when matching on DT compatibles.
