My original intention was to have alias entries for specific devices in the
i2c device drivers. Later, Jean decided to only have the most generic names
in there (like in http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blobdiff;f=drivers/media/video/tvaudio.c;h=c77914d99d15c5972c94e9763a08b5789098e90a;hp=6f9945b04e1f2bcd676f0ed8dc910994b29ed300;hb=ae429083efe996ca2c569c44fd6fea440676dc33;hpb=60b129d7bfa3e20450816983bd52c49bb0bc1c21)
So your patch is correct.
