It's there for the convenience for the user, so he doesn't have to add it
himself explicitly.

Right, the particular error case in the RSPI driver can no longer happen.

Calling of_device_get_match_data() is the better solution anyway, as
that uses the match table stored in dev->driver->of_match_table, so
there's no need to pass the table explicitly, and conditionally.

Hence...

Please convert to of_device_get_match_data() instead of adding
of_match_ptr() invocations...

Likewise.

Given of_device_get_match_data() returns NULL, not an error code, even
this one could use of_device_get_match_data().
