Hello,

This series add OF device ID tables to hwmon I2C drivers whose devices are
either used in Device Tree source files or are listed in binding docs as a
compatible string.

That's done because the plan is to change the I2C core to report proper OF
modaliases instead of always reporting a MODALIAS=i2c:<foo> regardless if
a device was registered via DT or using the legacy platform data.

So these patches will make sure that hwmon I2C drivers will continue to be
able to module auto-load oncethe I2C core is changed.

Series applied to hwmon-next.

Thanks,
Guenter
