Yup. Not the best. It should have dropped to lower case for the i2c table.
I missed it.  Now it's in there we'll have to maintain both going forward
to avoid breaking anyone.

Add another entry that is lowercase...

Should have one of those as well to allow full matching.  Sooner or later
we'll run into a collision with just the part name...
