Is there any relationship of these patches with commit
cee37ae4071740cb190d1ac4ddb7aa77484aa7b3?

That commit appears to be removing an entry for i2c in
mod_devicetable.h. But there was never any code in place to use that
struct which is why it was removed.

I have added the struct back with a name field instead of an id. My
patches also include the code necessary to make it all work.

    i2c: Kill struct i2c_device_id

    I2C devices do not have any form of ID as PCI or USB devices have.
    No driver uses "MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, ...)" because it doesn't
    make sense. So we can get rid of struct i2c_device_id and the
    associated support code.
