A user can choose to instantiate a device on an i2c bus using the sysfs
interface by providing a string and address to match and communicate
with the device on the bus. Presently this string is only matched
against the old i2c device id style strings, even in the presence of
full device tree compatible strings with vendor prefixes.
Providing a vendor-prefixed string to the sysfs interface will not match
against the device tree of_match_device() calls as there is no device
tree node to parse from the sysfs interface.
Convert i2c_of_match_device_strip_vendor() such that it can match both
vendor prefixed and stripped compatible strings on the sysfs interface.
