In those cases the structure was always compiled in. i.e., it was not protected
by #ifdef CONFIG_OF. Hence use of of_match_ptr was not required. of_match_ptr
abstracts this check depending on OF is enabled or not. In the case of
this (sss) driver,
since you are using CONFIG_OF to selectively compile out the code (and esp.
s5p_sss_dt_match structure), use of of_match_ptr will make the code
simpler as it
avoids the use of a dummy structure definition (the #else part of the
struct definition) when OF is
disabled. Hope this clarifies.
