The introduction of support for Apple board types inadvertently changed
the precedence order, causing hybrid SMBIOS+DT platforms to look up the
firmware using the DMI information instead of the device tree compatible
to generate the board type. Revert back to the old behavior,
as affected platforms use firmwares named after the DT compatible.

Looks good to me. I do have a question about the devicetree node for brcmfmac. The driver does a compatible check against "brcm,bcm4329-fmac". I actually expect all devicetree specifications to use this. That said I noticed the check for it in brcmf_of_probe() should be moved so it is the first check done.
