of_match_device could return NULL, and so cause a NULL pointer
dereference later.

I think that's rather pointless. The driver is OF-only, so the only way
it will bind to a device is if the device's compatible matches one of
the entries in the tegra_kbc_of_match table, in which case match will
never be NULL.
