Right, except this doesn't eliminate "any \"if (chip_id)\" checking".
Instead you have a hodge-podge of passing a little bit of (Regmap) data
via match and the rest via "if (chip_id)".  So either pass all platform
type data via .data or just the chip ID.  My suggestion 99% of the time
is the latter.
