It seems like this is a sign that nobody is actually using the i2c
match table. It was probably added because the original author just
copy/pasted from something else, but obviously it hasn't been kept up
to date and isn't working. While your patch would make it work for
"anx7814", it wouldn't make it work for any of the other similar
parts. ...and yes, you could add support for those parts in your patch
too, but IMO it makes more sense to just delete the i2c table and when
someone has an actual need then they can re-add it.

Sound OK?
