[PATCH v1 1/9] powerpc/machdep: Define 'compatible' property in ppc_md and use it

[Christophe Leroy]

Most probe functions do nothing else than checking whether
the machine is compatible to a given string.

Define that string in ppc_md structure and check it directly from
probe_machine() instead of using ppc_md.probe() for that.

Keep checking in ppc_md.probe() only for more complex probing.
