Driver has only of_device_id table, however it also has MODULE_ALIAS() for platform name, thus assume there is a configuration where this can be loaded outside of OF system. In such case of_device_get_match_data() will return NULL, which is already checked in one place of probe() function but not in the other, leading to Smatch warning: drivers/spi/spi-cadence-quadspi.c:1942 cqspi_probe() error: we previously assumed 'ddata' could be null (see line 1885) Driver should be consistent, so assume device can be matched via platform bus and of_device_get_match_data() can indeed return NULL. This is also possible with malformed DTS on OF-platform: no unit address and device node name matching driver name.
