If anything, you introduce the problem that a devicetree capable driver no longer gets a i2c_device_id if the device was instantiated with i2c_board_info. See how the mc13xxx driver does it: if (client->dev.of_node) { const struct of_device_id *of_id = of_match_device(mc13xxx_dt_ids, &client->dev); mc13xxx->variant = of_id->data; } else { mc13xxx->variant = (void *)id->driver_data; } This works.
