Is there any relationship of these patches with commit

    i2c: Kill struct i2c_device_id
    
    I2C devices do not have any form of ID as PCI or USB devices have.
    No driver uses "MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, ...)" because it doesn't
    make sense. So we can get rid of struct i2c_device_id and the
    associated support code.
