+ * __of_device_is_compatible() - Check if the node matches given constraints
+ * @device: pointer to node
+ * @compat: required compatible string, NULL or "" for any match
+ * @type: required device_type value, NULL or "" for any match
+ * @name: required node name, NULL or "" for any match
+ *
+ * Checks if the given @compat, @type and @name strings match the
+ * properties of the given @device. A constraints can be skipped by
+ * passing NULL or an empty string as the constraint.
+ *
+ * Returns 0 for no match, and a positive integer on match. The return
+ * value is a relative score with larger values indicating better
+ * matches. The score is weighted for the most specific compatible value
+ * to get the highest score. Matching type is next, followed by matching
+ * name. Practically speaking, this results in the following priority
+ * order for matches:
+ *
+ * 1. specific compatible && type && name
+ * 2. specific compatible && type
+ * 3. specific compatible && name
+ * 4. specific compatible
+ * 5. general compatible && type && name
+ * 6. general compatible && type
+ * 7. general compatible && name
+ * 8. general compatible
+ * 9. type && name
+ * 10. type
+ * 11. name
