of_match_device() may fail and returns a NULL pointer.

Fix this by checking the return value of of_match_device().

Hi Zhang,

Thank you for the patch.

How can it return a NULL pointer here ?

I think we can make it happen by designing the platform device in a way that 
its name aligns with that of the driver. In such a scenario, when the driver 
is probed, the of_match_device function will return null. You can verify this 
functionality by reviewing the following function:

static int platform_match(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv)

This particular device is found in OF-based systems only, and only
instantiated through DT. You can create a platform_device manually that
may match this driver, but that would be a made-up situation, not
something that can happen in practice.
