I think all we need to do is add:

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, fan_device_ids);

to i2c-scmi.c, which will add the appropriate aliases to the module info.

That reminds me, I don't think that patch to add ACPI_SMBUS_IBM_HID to the ACPI
header files ever went in, did it?  It doesn't seem to be in 2.6.33-rc7, but
maybe it's queued in someone else's ACPI tree for .34?  If it's not, then I'd
imagine it's still blocking the patchset to i2c-scmi that works around broken
IBM BIOSes, so I'm hoping someone from the ACPI part of the world can comment?
