Unfortunately switching to probe_new (which I've done for
the upcoming v9 of the MFD CHT Whiskey Cove driver) is not enough,
as i2c_device_probe() (from drivers/i2c/i2c-core) still has:

         /*
          * An I2C ID table is not mandatory, if and only if, a suitable Device
          * Tree match table entry is supplied for the probing device.
          */
         if (!driver->id_table &&
             !i2c_of_match_device(dev->driver->of_match_table, client))
                 return -ENODEV;

So before we can remove the empty id tables from various ACPI
drivers we first need to extend this check to also work with
ACPI device matching.
