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() 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.
