Hi Lee,

sorry for the delay.

Check Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices, method 4. If a driver
does not have i2c_device_id, then this method won't work because the
newly created device has no of_node or ACPI_node and nothing will match.
Looking at the bigger picture, I'd really like to keep this feature.
People use it.

Regards,

   Wolfram
