You should either add a dependency on OF or __maybe_unused.
Adding both makes no sense.

Anyway, what is your final goal here? If it is to get rid of
of_match_ptr because of_match_table has been unconditinoal for
over 10 years then just do it in one giant patch rather than
evaluating every single driver with of_match_table as to whether
they can be used through ACPI or not.

Thanks,
