Though, I wouldn't mind if compatible entries could be passed to the
'new_device' file, in addition to i2c_device_ids. Yet, this needs some
extra handling I haven't found the time for, yet.

Hm that's a way forward then I guess... but passing a compatible
string to that same file is a bit arbitrarily ambigous. So we'd rather
add a new instatiation file named new_device_of_compatible or so?
