As a quick fix this patch is okay, the proper one is to go with chip_info
structure in the driver_data. where the name will be defined.

On top of that mutex_init() should be devm_mutex_init(), which is a fix,
and some cleanups:
- unused i2c_set_clientdata(); may be dropped
- C99 initialisers in ACPI ID table
- IWYU principle for the header inclusions
- some unneeded GENMASK()s due to use of sign_extend32()
- perhaps converting to use get_unaligned_xx() where it makes sense
- use time multipliers in _read_poll_timeout()
- use fsleep() and time multipliers instead of usleep_range()
- get rid of min_t(); perhaps replace with clamp() or min()
- use SI multipliers from units.h
