Oh, I see. I was focused on previous of_device_get_match_data() call.
My bad.

Indeed, you're right, I can call directly of_platform_depopulate() without
checking pdev->dev.of_node before the call. The check is already present
in of_platform_depopulate() itself.

I will do that in the next iteration.

Thanks for pointing out.
