The driver should support the same chip models reardless of whether it's
used with or without DT. If an entry in the OF table has no corresponding
entry in the I2C table I would consider that as a driver bug.

Linus Walleij posted a patch to support DT only probing, but too many
side-effects showed up. Some were fixable (probe regressions) and some
need more work, if feasible at all. Most prominent is that runtime
instantiation of i2c slaves currently needs an entry in the i2c table.

Linus, I'd like to get this in v3.12 if it's not too late. Could you please
provide your input ?

Provided some input on the v4 version, due to being a bit overloaded
my patch queue is overloaded...

Yours,
Linus Walleij
