If there is no driver match function, the driver core assumes that each
candidate pair (driver, device) matches, see driver_match_device().

Drop the bus's match function that always returned 1 and so
implements the same behaviour as when there is no match function.

The removed function returns 0, not 1, so this is replacing the
functionality with something that does exactly the opposite of the
current behavior.  Please explain.  Thanks,
