I am at a loss with this one... There are plenty of patterns similar to
drivers/ata/ahci_st.c doing something like:

static const struct of_device_id st_ahci_match[] = {

        { .compatible = "st,ahci", },

        { /* sentinel */ }

};

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, st_ahci_match);

For instance, in drivers/pwm/pwm-sti.c, we have:

static const struct of_device_id sti_pwm_of_match[] = {

        { .compatible = "st,sti-pwm", },

        { /* sentinel */ }

};

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, sti_pwm_of_match);

And countless others like this for STI and other arch too.

So if CONFIG_MODULE is not enabled, how come we are not submerged with
warnings about unused variables ? Is mips arch special in this regard ?
Or am I missing something ?
