Hello Shailendra,

The subject line is wrong, please always use the convention used in
previous commits, i.e: git log --oneline drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/

I don't think this makes sense for the Exynos driver since Exynos is a
DT-only platform and so the probe callback can only be called if a dev
node with a compatible string in the OF device id table was registered.

All the struct of_device_id in the table have a .data and so this can't
be NULL in this driver.
