I don't see the point in having a macro for such a simple data
structure, but since this v8 and Linus hasn't complained I guess it's
fine.

Using a macro here makes it impossible to grep for 'compatible'. Doing
'git grep compatible drivers/gpio/' is sometimes very useful to see
which hardware the driver actually supports.

You can retrieve OF match data using of_device_get_match_data(). Saves
you a couple of lines and better explains what your doing.
