Couldn't greybus be fixed in that regard? Using the i2c_device_id has
been deprecated for a while now.

what we could do is only provide ms5803 support when there is an
of_node. So this doesn't break the ABI and doesn't break greybus and at
the same time doesn't unnecessarily add complexity to the probe for
something that will probably never be used.
