For the if-deffery I proposed something during the last review,
I'm not sure if you saw it. If you did, please ignore this comment:


.address_list is also only needed with CONFIG_SENSORS_SPD5118_DETECT.

If you use

.detect         = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SENSORS_SPD5118_DETECT) ?  spd5118_detect : NULL,
.address_list   = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SENSORS_SPD5118_DETECT) ?  normal_i2c : NULL,

then the need for __maybe_unused goes away and type checking is a tiny
bit better.
