You can set it up to try device_get_match_data() first then fallback
to the adxl313_spi_id[] table but there isn't a nice 'standard' way to
do it.

If that isn't done, then IIRC the match is against the compatible with
the vendor ID dropped and the table used is the spi_device_id one.
Which is just annoyingly complex and relies on the strings matching.

In the ideal world the spi_device_id table would go away but there are
still a few users (greybus - I think + remaining board files).
So for now something like

a = device_get_match_data(dev);
if (!a)
	a = &adxl31x_spi_regmap_config[id->data];

Provides a good way of ensuring the id tables don't need to remain
in sync.
