My understanding is that it can't be null for exactly same reason why
platform_get_device_id(pdev) can't be null either (see below).

I.e. prerequisite for this code to be run at all (as it's called from
driver's .probe()) is to be already matched against very same match
table.

As far I can see the only possibility for it to fail is to have
dev.of_node pointing to device tree node and NOT being instantiated
from DT description...
