I've just sent out a patchset that cleans up at least a couple of users
that directly do of_match_node(matches, np)->data using
of_find_matching_node_and_match. Not sure if that will fix the usage
you have in mind, though.
I am a bit weary about having an of_match_node() user that both directly
dereferences the result (i.e. of_match_node(matches, np)->data) _and_
builds when !CONFIG_OF; most likely due to a traumatic childhood event
where demons flew out my nose.
