The commit message would suggest that the code is equivalent (except usage
of helper) but it is not the same entirely. You are not checking for
matched data. Returned NULL will be cast back to type to valid
TYPE_MAX77686. This should not happen but either mention the removal of
check in commit msg or make it:
enum max77686_types {
	TYPE_MAX77686_UNKNOWN
	...
}
if (max77686->type == TYPE_MAX77686_UNKNOWN)
	return -EINVAL;

Best regards,
Krzysztof
