If soc_device_match() is called before the SoC bus has been registered,
bus_for_each_dev() returns -EINVAL, which is considered a match, as it
is non-zero.
While calling soc_device_match() too early can be considered an
integration mistake, returning a match is counter-intuitive:
soc_device_match() is typically used to handle quirks, i.e. to deviate
from the default path. Hence add a check to abort checking and return
no match instead.
