I'm not sure about that. One issue is that 6000/6050/9150 have the same
WHOAMI value and can't be distinguished this way. They also seem to
identical interfaces. Models MPU6500 and MPU9250 report different WHOAMI
values.

Changing chip_type based on the WHOAMI would require some additional
refactoring. Placing that in a separate patch might be worthwhile anyway.
