Lee Jones/ Enric,

IIUC of_match_device call is still needed to obtain a match and in case
there are multiple compatibles with different match data then this call
is definitely needed.

There is no need to check for return value as we will find one match for
sure and that can be removed.

Even checks like 'if (client->dev.of_node) {' can surely be removed with
depends on OF.

Please correct me if i am wrong.
