Theoretically it's possible to create platform devices through other ways than the device tree (think of old board C files for example). I agree that nobody should do that, but having this check here at least avoids a NULL pointer dereference in this unlikely scenario.
Please let me know if I should remove it anyway, that's fine for me!
TBH, I don't have very strong opinion on this.
Great, can I assume your Reviewed-by: applies without any changes then?
yes sure.
