If that's the case then why are you adding maybe unused annotations for half the drivers rather than removing their of_match_ptr() usages? There doesn't seem to be any logic here, it's just randomly making changes as far as I can tell. The PRP0001 stuff isn't an issue, of_match_ptr() can just be changed to do the right thing for CONFIG_ACPI. It doesn't buy us huge amounts but it also costs us very little and may be useful in future. When there's missing annotations it's not causing issues for practical configurations as far as I can tell, and if the macro were updated for CONFIG_ACPI it'd be even less of an issue.
