[PATCH] of: replace of_match_node() macro by a function when !CONFIG_OF

From: Théo Lebrun

In the !CONFIG_OF case, replace the of_match_node() macro implementation
by a static function. This ensures drivers calling of_match_node() can
be COMPILE_TESTed.

include/linux/of.h declares of_match_node() like this:

#ifdef CONFIG_OF
extern const struct of_device_id *of_match_node(
const struct of_device_id *matches, const struct device_node *node);
#else
#define of_match_node(_matches, _node) NULL
#endif

When used inside an expression, those two implementations behave truly
differently. The macro implementation has (at least) two pitfalls:

- Arguments are removed by the preprocessor meaning they do not appear
to the compiler. This can give "defined but not used" warnings.

- The returned value type is (void *)
versus (const struct of_device_id *).
It works okay if the value is stored in a variable, thanks to C's
implicit void pointer casting rules. It causes build errors if used
like `of_match_data(...)->data`.
