Yeah I think __maybe_unused would work. The other approach would be to
make of_match_node() a static inline that returns false with CONFIG_OF=n
but that's probably a super large change. I hope the compiler would be
able to optimize that whole thing away because the arguments are const
pointers but I don't know.
