All drivers have such pattern and it was discouraged to add empty/dead NULL checks.

If there is no suitable node, of_match_node() will return NULL pointer. Therefore it should be better to check it in order to avoid the dereference of NULL pointer. And the only caller s3c24xx_serial_probe() has already checked the return value of the s3c24xx_get_driver_data(). So the new check can be dealed with.
