This was not intentional, I'll fix it in v2.

Obviously this code is not really SMP aware, but even with store tearing
I don't think it will be issue. Worst case the
of_machine_compatible_match() will be called more than one, which is not
fatal and might not justify atomics or locks.

Best regards,
