From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@quicinc.com>

Introduce device_match_type() to simplify operations below:

- Test if a device matches with specified device type.
- Find a device with specified device type via various device finding APIs.

device_find_child() will use it as argument to simplify operations later.
