The missing dependency on OF is not a problem. The OF code is prepare
and will work fine if the driver is built with !OF. The point is that
with !OF after dropping of_match_ptr(), the driver could match via ACPI
(PRP0001). If we make it depending on OF, the driver won't be able to
use it, unless kernel is built with OF which is unlikely for ACPI systems.
