I think no potential NULL pointer access, because this driver can't
be called without of_id->data.
But, potential NULL pointer check itself is good idea.
It seems your patch was already accepted :)

I noticed that we can replace it to use of_device_get_match_data()

- const struct of_device_id *of_id = of_match_device(test_of_match, &pdev->dev);
- const struct test_adata *adata = of_id->data;
+ const struct test_adata *adata = of_device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev);
