Hi, Corentin
Thanks for the patch. It looks fine to me, just one nitpick in below:

of_match_device could return NULL, and so cause a NULL pointer
dereference later.

it's better to use -EINVAL here.

Hello

I do that Uwe Kleine-König said to me to do in others thread:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/12/70 and https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/16/211
Thank you for the information.
I checked the imx serial driver(drivers/tty/serial/imx.c) in serial_imx_probe():
    ...
    ret = serial_imx_probe_dt(sport, pdev);
if (ret > 0) ---> So here is why you need to return 1 in serial_imx_probe_dt().
        serial_imx_probe_pdata(sport, pdev);
    else if (ret < 0)
        return ret;

There has a branch to check whether ret is > 0 or < 0. So that's why you need to return 1 in imx serial driver.
But in atmel_nand driver, we don't have such code for that. The 
atmel_of_init_port() is only used for dt probe. So if dt is not matched, 
just return an error.

Best Regards,
