Thanks for your feedback but I don't think we still need to check it,
because the of_alias_get_id() function will either return -ENOSYS if
CONFIG_OF is not defined, or -ENODEV if the node is not found. As the
function does not dereference pdev->dev.of_node at any moment but
instead compares the value with another pointer, I think this call is
safe like this.

Thanks,
Miqu?l
