Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] da8xx: fix section mismatch in new drivers

Sekhar noticed there's a section mismatch in the da8xx-mstpri and
da8xx-ddrctl drivers. This is caused by calling
of_flat_dt_get_machine_name() which has an __init annotation.

This series makes the drivers drop the call and not print the
machine name in the error message.

v1 -> v2:
- drop patch [1/3] from v1
- introduce internal routines in the drivers instead of a general
  function in of/base.c

v2 -> v3:
- use of_property_read_string_index() instead of
  of_property_read_string() to get the first compatible entry
- s/priotities/priorities

v3 -> v4:
- drop the compatible string printing altogether as the new function
  is not safe
- merge the typo fix into patch [1/2]

Bartosz Golaszewski (2):
  bus: da8xx-mstpri: drop the call to of_flat_dt_get_machine_name()
  memory: da8xx-ddrctl: drop the call to of_flat_dt_get_machine_name()
