Done, though it's strange that I didn't see those errors. Are those
compiler errors or sparse errors?

I'll be sending out both patches right away.

I don't think that's the case. The of_find_matching_node_and_match()
should catch all non-Tegra cases, and the backward-compatibility
fallback has an extra check on the SoC compatible. See the comment on
lines 295-298.

That code is fairly old and I haven't seen anybody bring up any errors
on non-Tegra platforms for that particular piece.

Thanks,
Thierry
