For me it should be a separate patch, it's nice to have COMPILE_TEST
but not related to this change IMHO.

Unfortunately you can't get rid of this table (yet) since the I2C
subsystem always reports a MODALIAS of the form "i2c:tps65217" even
when the devices have been registered via OF. There are only a couple
of drivers more to clean-up and then I'll post a patch that fixes the
I2C core to report a proper OF modalias. But for now, removing will
mean that module autoload will be broken for this driver.

Best regards,
Javier
