of_match_ptr() either expands to NULL if !CONFIG_OF, or is transparent otherwise. There are several drivers using this macro which keep their of_device_id array enclosed within an #ifdef CONFIG_OF check, these are considered fine. However, When misused, the of_device_id array pointed by this macro will produce a warning because it is finally unused when compiled without OF support. A number of fixes are possible: - Always depend on CONFIG_OF, but this will not always work and may break boards. - Enclose the compatible array by #ifdef's, this may save a bit of memory but will reduce build coverage. - Tell the compiler the array may be unused, if this can be avoided, let's not do this. - Just drop the macro, setting the of_device_id array for a non OF enabled platform is not an issue, it will just be unused. The latter solution seems the more appropriate, so let's use it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
