It's not uncommon to do that, especially when you want the driver to be
compile-tested (`git grep -C2 __maybe_unused|grep of_device_id` even
reports 2 drivers in the media tree :P). A `depends on OF` or an
`#ifdef CONFIG_OF` section surrounding the of_rkvdec_match declaration
would also do the trick.
