Yes, that's fine.

Maybe a comment here as well as setting drvdata to NULL is rather rare
as I'm fairly sure the driver core does it for you these days (but too late
for this particular use).

Ultimately we may not need to know CDAT info at the time of driver
load, but only on either a userspace read, or setup of a region etc.
I guess in majority of cases that will all be automated though (based
on LSA contents etc).
