The driver can be compile tested with !CONFIG_OF making certain data
unused:

  drivers/regulator/lp872x.c:931:34: error: ‘lp872x_dt_ids’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-const-variable=]

I know it would work. If you check all my patches you see both patterns
used depending on the needs:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=f%3Akrzysztof+of_device_id
(~100 patches so far)

The point is that here the device can actually match via ID table, so OF
table could stay optional. I don't think PRP0001 is relevant here, thus
I proposed to keep OF table optional. Different folks have different
opinion on that, so if general consensus is that availability of OF ID
table (for PRP0001) is preferred, I can rework the patch towards it.

Here you're using maybe unused instead of removing the of_match_ptr()
(which does seem like a better approach).  This really feels very
random, there's obviously a usability problem here.

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
