Hi Zhang,

I'm not sure we can actually make this bug happen. Do you have
a way of triggering it?  The driver is only probed on devices where
that match will work.

Also, assuming the match table is the same one associated with this probe
function, then us priv->cfg = of_device_get_match_data() and check the output
of that which is what we really care about.
