Have you used `make W=1 ...`? With it you should get a warning that
table defined but not used.

You need either both (of_match_ptr() _and_ ugly ifdeffery, and note
you will need of.h for that) or none (mod_devicetable.h maybe needed,
though).

If we would like to use this in non-DT environment, then drop all that
