It can be any string as long as it is unique. Typically this will
be vendor-model-name though and having i2c in there is a bit weird
since this is used for the modalias, which gets prefixed with
"i2c:" already.

Therefor I would prefer to keep this as is. But if you have
a strong preference I can change this for v2.

Please let me know how you want to proceed with this patch.

Regards,

Hans
