| |
This effectively reverts 1db73ae39a97 ("of/device: Nullify match table in of_match_device() for CONFIG_OF=n") because that commit makes it more surprising to users of this API that the arguments may never be referenced by any code. This is because the pre-processor will replace the argument with NULL and then the match table will be left unreferenced by any code but the compiler optimizer doesn't know to drop it. This can lead to compilers warning that match tables are unused, when we really want to pass the match table to the API but have the compiler see that it's all inlined and not used and then drop the match table while silencing the warning. We're being too smart here and not giving the compiler the chance to do dead code elimination.
