I2C device ID table strings should really match the DT compatible

layer and thus as i2c_board_info->type by the I2C layer.

Nice to have I agree. However, it's an ABI change as this is exposed
via
/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:\deviceN/name and is used by lots of scripts
etc to identify the device. So we are stuck with it.
There is a reason we've kept this mess here for quite some time.
Ok, I feared there could be some reason ;-). Tell me, if you want me to
respin anything...
