Hmm, do you have devices that only have the matching name property
but not the compatible property? If not, I'd suggest only looking
for compatible, so you have less chance of false positives.

nice!

the last line looks a bit silly. Maybe instead do

		rc = ibmebus_create_device(dn);
  		of_node_put(dn);
	}

	kfree(path);
	if (rc)
		return rc;
	return count;
