Nope :) Ran into actual media/i2c driver probing issue several days ago

That's shorter, yes. I wanted to keep the existing "workaround" in order
to avoid extra id_table matching. Because it probably will take place
earlier somewhere in

	bus_for_each_dev()
	 __driver_attach()
	  i2c_device_match()  // OF ACPI id_table match

Right.
