The platform bus currently matches a DPDK driver to a device only by comparing the kernel driver name bound to the device against the DPDK driver name. Devices bound to the generic vfio-platform kernel driver all report the same driver name, which carries no device identity, so a specific DPDK driver cannot claim its device this way.
Add of_device_is_compatible(), which reads the device-tree "compatible" strings exposed under the device's of_node in sysfs and compares them against a requested string. platform_bus_match() now falls back to matching the DPDK driver name or its alias against these compatible strings, letting a driver bind to a device identified by its device-tree "compatible" value.
