Most of the cleanups look good, just a few things that stick out:

The addition of platform_data does not look like a cleanup to me,
it's a significant change in the interface to the platform, so I
would put it into a separate patch.

This part looks like it belongs into the second patch where you add support
for more than one chip id.

Since this file only adds platform_data, I think it should go into
include/linux/platform_data/, not include/linux/i2c, and it should
be in the same patch as the change to use the platform data when you
split that out.

Also, which platforms are actually using this driver? I could
not find any platform that defines a bmp085 platform_device. If this
is for new ARM platforms, I would rather not add platform_data at
all because those platforms will have to use device tree properties
rather than platform_data to pass initialization data.
