The return value here has the reverse sense from how the caller interprets it.  The caller, bus_find_hid_device(), interprets it like the result from strcmp() or memcmp().  A value of 0 means equal.  Here, you're returning true (1) when the devices are equal.

By the way, I would recommend that you change this vtable entry to be equal_platform_device (or same_platform_device or matches_platform_device) and make its return type a boolean which is true when the devices are equal and false otherwise.

You can't really do the strcmp/memcmp scheme where < 0 means less than and > 0 means greater than.  Put another way, in the current scheme there's no clear value to return for "not equal" when the bus can't support an ordering of devices.
