That only looks like it due to the "+" at the beginning of the line.
If you look at the actual code the alignment is ok.

That would indeed be preferred. The static data structure isn't really useful.

Only if of_match_ptr() is used below, and then I'd prefer __maybe_unused

Usually we leave that up to driver authors.

We usually leave that up to driver authors. Many watchdog driver leave
an empty line, so it is ok (as long as there are no two empty lines).
