Now I have second thoughts whether NULL pointer can actually happen. If
device is matched via platform/board files, maybe the pdev->dev.of_node
will be NULL thus skipping this branch?
Could there be a case where device is matched via platform_device_id()
(which has different name than compatible!) and (pdev->dev.of_node) is
still assigned? Maybe in case of out of tree DTS?
Anyway, the patch makes the code simpler/smaller, so I still think it is
reasonable. Just the severity of issue is questionable...
Best regards,
Krzysztof
