Does this end up in the i2c_driver_id driver data or do we need some

the DT data instead? That certainly used to be the case...
At the beginning I think as the same as you, and also add the code to
get the data as I do in <drivers/misc/atmel-ssc.c>. However, as I
remember, I2C seems only use the compatible string after the comma,
that
means only for "wlf,wm8904", it uses "wm8904" to match. So, I remove
all
the code I added, and just keep these, and it can get the device type
correctly.
So, when I submit the patch and keep the code as simple as possible.
I don't understand what's keeping this patch from being applied. Voice,
do you mind re-sending?
I need to convince myself that the above actually works and is doing the
right thing; the above explanation sounds like if it works it might be
relying on a bug.
I'd call it a undocumented feature. But I wouldn't rely on it being
around for ever. In my opinion to be future proof the driver should
explicitly handle the OF case in the probe function.
I will add this into probe function in next version.
Thanks.

Bo Shen
