What is the upside of doing it here? It has the downside that it needs
one more indention level. The only difference I see is that it doesn't
apply for mpuio devices then and wonder if that is relevant.

Without CONFIG_OF of_alias_get_id still exists and returns -ENOSYS which
should make the added code a nop. Does your compiler agree with you that
my patch breaks building the driver?
