If the system has other devices being registered in the component framework, the compare function will be called with a device that doesn't belong to vimc. This device is not necessarily a platform_device, nor have a platform_data (which causes a NULL pointer dereference error) and if it does have a pdata, it is not necessarily type of struct vimc_platform_data. So casting to any of these types is wrong. Instead of expecting a given pdev with a given pdata, just expect for the device it self. vimc-core is the one who creates them, we know in advance exactly which object to expect in the match.
