If you can't extract that information from ACPI namespace, then one option
is to pass platform data along with the device ACPI ID:

static const struct acpi_device_id my_acpi_match[] = {
	{ "MYID0001", (kernel_ulong_t)&my_platform_data }
	...
	{ },
};

static struct i2c_driver i2c_hid_driver = {
        .driver = {
		...
                .acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(my_acpi_match),
        },
...
