You are correct, I will remove this unused variable.

Is it guaranteed that device_get_match_data will not return NULL? I find some examples in other drivers, all of them have a check on returned data.

Will it be more appropriate if I move device_get_match_data to probe function, and return EINVAL when we get a NULL pointer from device_get_match_data?
