Subject: [PATCH] base: soc: Make soc_device_match() simpler and easier to read

The function soc_device_match() is difficult to read for various
reasons:
  - There are two loop conditions using different styles: "while (...)"
    (which is BTW always true) vs. "if ... break",
  - The are two return condition using different logic: "if ... return
    foo" vs. "if ... else return bar".

Make the code easier to read by:
  1. Removing the always-true "!ret" loop condition, and dropping the
     now unneeded pre-initialization of "ret",
  2. Converting "if ... break" to a proper "while (...)" loop condition,
  3. Inverting the logic of the second return condition.
