Yep and again, how is this related? If you want to test a driver originating
from DT, you would probably want to have a DT (overlay) to be provided.

How is it a fix?

Yes, and then Reported-by, which is missing here.

Please, move these after the cutter '---' line (note you may have that line in
your local repo).

And if there are more than one compatible provided?

First part of the conditional is invariant to the loop. Can be simply

	matches = dev->driver->of_match_table;
	if (!matches)
		return NULL;

	while (...)
