Yep, then the case is obvious, but the driver does not use it.

+static struct i2c_driver rt5759_driver = {
+	.driver = {
+		.name = "rt5759",
+		.of_match_table = rt5759_device_table,

Therefore the of_device_id cannot be unused, so __maybe_unused is not
correct. This can be fixed in two different ways, which we did not
discuss yet...
