Why are we not fixing of_match_ptr() here, or at least adding the ifdefs
in case someone does end up wanting to run without OF?

Just as a general thing for something like this where the patches aren't
expected to get merged together it makes life much easier to not send as
a series - pulling individual patches out of a series causes issues with
things like b4, especially if you have to apply them to multiple places,
and there's limited benefit.
