So, then add it in bitops.h the same way it's done for s32 and s64.

I²C ID table is good to have without direct use, but ->probe_new() is
called if and only if there is a compatible string or ACPI ID match.
In such case data->cfg may be NULL if and only if the corresponding
table missed it, but this will be a bug anyway, so the above code will
rather hide the bug. Hence, please remove it.
