Back when David proposed his new-style i2c code, I had the same
objection. But we addressed the need differently. If you look at struct
i2c_board_info, you'll see two string fields, driver_name and type. The
former specifies the driver name, the second specifies the exact device
variant. For drivers which support several device variants, the
platform code should fill both fields.
