function to retrive of_device_id data

[Joachim Eastwood <manabian-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Hi DT maintainers,

A common driver pattern for retrieving the data field in a of_device_id struct seems to be:

    const struct of_device_id *match;
    match = of_match_device(driver_of_match, &pdev->dev);
    driver->data = match->data;

I was looking for a simple function to perform the above action but couldn't find one.

What do you think about the following patch to add such a function?
