Why is this entire function written like this, and why does it exist
at all? You can store the chip name in the platform data for a compatible,
thereby avoiding a massive of_device_is_compatible if block because that's
what platform data is for.

The only place where this function is even used is in probe.

Just store it in your mtk_vcodec_match's .data struct and pull it from
dev->vdec_pdata. No need for the function.
