Add the TPS23881B I2C power sourcing equipment controller to the
list of supported devices.  
Missing an explanation for why a fallback compatible is not suitable
here. Seems like it is, if the only difference is that the firmware is
not required to be refreshed, provided that loading the non-B firmware
on a B device would not be problematic.
Loading the non-B firmware on a B device is indeed problematic. I'll
append the following paragraph to the patch when reposting it after
the current merge window has closed.
Is it possible to ask the device what it is?

If you can, maybe you don't even need a new compatible, just load the
appropriate firmware depending on what the device says it is.
