The i2c subsys does not load modules by compatible, only by
i2c-id, with e.g. a modalias of: "i2c:axp209".

Populate the axp20x_i2c_id[] table with supported ids, so that
module auto-loading will work.

Even though axp20x-i2c seems to be the only "DT only" i2c client,
would it make sense to add DT-based module autoloading to the i2c
core?

If it is not too invasive, then yes that would be a sensible addition IMHO.

If I understand you correctly, I already have a patch-set on the ML
that does this.
