IMHO firstly all the cases like one above must be fixed in place, in
parallel do an overall conversion of subcases:

-	of_id = of_match_node(some_dt_ids, dev->of_node);
+	of_id = of_match_device(some_dt_ids, dev);

Unfortunately the proposed of_node_get_match_data() is not so similar
to the of_device_get_match_data(), the latter one has only one input
argument in opposite to of_match_device(), which is truly convenient.

The change itself is good.
