Again, please try to follow the process in SubmittingPatches for sending

I2C is not probeable but drivers can be autoloaded since boards must
register devices before they can be probed.

No, this shouldn't be added - this driver should not be loaded based on
the presence of the LM4857 since it is specific to the OpenMoko Neo1973
system.  This is largely because the LM4857 support is a hideous bodge
which should get fixed at some point (it ought to be in a separate
driver in the CODECs directory rather than part of the OpenMoko machine
driver).

This change is OK but should be moved next to the actual table.
