Without this patch, DT can still connect driver with device by the heuristic way(of_modalias_node).
i have a patch just like yours in input subsystem "[PATCH v2] input: touchscreen: add OF match table for ads7846" with "Acked-by: Grant Likely", but Dmitry seems to just ignore it.
so not sure whether this kind of new added match tables are totally liked by people or not.
The issue I have with the ads7846 driver is that it still needs platform code to supply the needed platform data structure to make the driver/device usable. So I am not sure what the benefit DT matching code brings to that driver.
Thanks.
