It doesn't serve any purpose I am aware of.

If you want to do that, then why not define your match data with your own
callbacks. e.g. something like

struct sdhci_arasan_of_data {
	struct sdhci_arasan_soc_ctl_map *soc_ctl_map;
	void (*platform_init)(struct sdhci_arasan_data *sdhci_arasan);
};

	struct sdhci_arasan_of_data *data;

	data = match->data;
	sdhci_arasan->soc_ctl_map = data->soc_ctl_map;
	if (data->platform_init)
		platform_init(sdhci_arasan);
