Thanks for your report!

The warning has already been reported by the kernel test robot
<lkp@xxxxxxxxx> and I have sent a patch to fix it:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sound/20240403-rk3308-audio-codec-fix-warning-v2-1-816bae4c1dc5@xxxxxxxxxxx/

The approach I took is different though: I have added __maybe_unused
instead, which has the advantage of not adding a struct of_device_id
array to kernel built without CONFIG_OF.

My patch has already been taken by Mark. I hope this is fine as well for
you.

Best regards,
Luca
