OK I'll drop this check.

But guarding the table #ifdef CONFIG_OF would cause compilation failure
for below code when CONFIG_OF is undefined in probe

of_id = of_match_device(of_match_ptr(mt9p031_of_match),
&client->dev);
if (of_id)
mt9p031->model = (enum mt9p031_model)of_id->data;

and also in mt9p031_i2c_driver structure,
of_match_table = of_match_ptr(mt9p031_of_match),

which force me to define mt9p031_of_match to NULL when
CONFIG_OF is undefined
