Just this past week I did the same thing, but noticed that it breaks the
following usecase:

	#ifdef CONFIG_OF
	static const struct of_device_id foobar_matches[] = {
		{ .compatible = "foobar,whatsit", },
		{ },
	};
	#endif
	
	static int probeme(struct platform_device *pdev)
	{
		struct of_device_id *id;
	
		id = of_match_node(foobar_matches, pdev->dev.of_node);
		if (id) {
			/* ... */
		}
		return 0;
	}

When !CONFIG_OF and with your change, this will fail to build due to
foobar_matches being undefined.
