In the subject: Isn't the RM3100 a 3axis mag.
The 9axis bit comes when you combine it with an accel / gryo I think.

Looking at other drivers supporting i2c / spi.
They use the same compatible for both.

eg: see iio/accel/adxl345_*.c

and it's binding doc:

Required properties:
  - compatible : should be "adi,adxl345"
  - reg : the I2C address or SPI chip select number of the sensor
