If the system has other devices being registered in the component
framework, the compare function will be called with a device that
doesn't belong to vimc.
This device is not necessarily a platform_device, nor have a
platform_data (which causes a NULL pointer dereference error) and if it
does have a pdata, it is not necessarily type of struct vimc_platform_data.
So casting to any of these types is wrong.
Instead of expecting a given pdev with a given pdata, just expect for
the device it self. vimc-core is the one who creates them, we know in
advance exactly which object to expect in the match.

Although it's not really documented (not in process/stable-rules
at least) that a "Fixes" tag alone would be automatically picked by
the stable team, it has been the case for me since always,
as I've never Cced stable explicitly.

It's probably the case thanks to Sascha's auto-select tool, but I do
think it's better to be explicit about what you want: there are some
cases where a patch fixes a bug, but the user doesn't want this patch
to be backported because it's not been tested or older kernels, is too
complex to be backported as is or is not important enough (typos).
