Can you just put that instead?

That'll do, thanks.

Actually, can you do it the other way round?  Minimise the i2c table
and populate the ACPI one.  I'm just about to work on a separate
patch-set which deprecates the use of the i2c table on DT and/or ACPI
only registered devices.

Yes, if it's okay with Linus and you aapply his Ack.
