It is used, see below.

Ok, this works, thank you. I will prepare a new patch version.

This is where the match data is used:

In this driver, match data is used to map DT compatible strings/ ACPI CIDs
to the key strings (.._ACCEL_DEV_NAME) which are used to identify the
actual device (and are also used in i2c_device_id table).
