why not new-style I2C eeprom driver?

Hi All,
 
Would like to know why the I2C eeprom driver is not upgraded to new-style? Why is that some devices are still following legacy I2C driver style.
If i want to write an I2C driver, is there any dependency on the device that makes me to write only legacy driver?
 
another doubt:
When i am wrting the I2C driver, how can i know the name of the device be known before hand to include in i2c_device_id structure?  As far as i know this name should match during the bus enumeration for matching devices.
For example, how do i know the name of the eeprom device.
Actually, i am trying to rewrite the I2C eeprom driver in new-style using linux kernel device model for my understanding.
 
 
Thanks & Regards,
