The TPS23881B device requires different firmware, but has a more
recent ROM firmware. Since no updated firmware has been released
yet, the firmware loading step must be skipped. The device runs
from its ROM firmware.

You are breaking Kyle's patch:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20240731154152.4020668-1-kyle.swenson@est.tech/

You should check only the device id and not the silicon id.  

On the TPS23881, the register "DEVICE ID" reads as 0x22 (Device ID number
DID = 0010b, silicon revision number SR = 0010b). On the TPS23881B, 0x24
(DID = 0010b, SR = 0100b) is returned. Both devices report the same
device ID number DID and can only be distinguished by their silicon
revision number SR.

Unfortunately, Kyle's assumption that the driver should work fine with
any silicon revision proved to be wrong. The TPS23881 firmware is not
compatible with the TPS23881B and must not be attempted to be loaded. As
of today, the TPS23881B must be operated using the ROM firmware.

Indeed you are right, I misread the datasheet, on my head I thought it was the
device ID which changes between the TPS23881 and the TPS23881B.
