[ Upstream commit 9ba2da5f5d18daaa365ab5426b05e16f1d114786 ]

The driver doesn't have a struct of_device_id table but supported devices are registered via Device Trees. This is working on the assumption that a I2C device registered via OF will always match a legacy I2C device ID and that the MODALIAS reported will always be of the form i2c:<device>.

But this could change in the future so the correct approach is to have an OF device ID table if the devices are registered via OF.

As the commit message itself says this is not fixing anything, it's defence against future changes.

I was under the impression that this refers to future HW changes rather than code, I'll drop all 3. Thanks!
