I was preparing the patch and if the i3c_device_match_id() fail it return 
NULL so the st_lsm6dsx_probe() will fail automatically.
Checking the spi_get_device_id(), the drivers don't test the return value 
too.

Do you think it is really necessary to test it before the 
st_lsm6dsx_probe() function?
