I think both i2c and spi are cheating in this regard: they should rely on normal driver request paths through udev. 2. I2C should emit proper modalias for devices coming by the way of devicetree. It already does special handling for ACPI, it needs to do the same for OF. I think SPI does the right thing there. Thanks.

I'll let Wolfram comment here for I2C.

Because with OF we can pass more specific compatible flags (such as edt-ft5306) instead of generic edt-ft5x06, when i2c-core's of_i2c_register_devices() tries to request_module(), it'll request it with a non-existent specific module alias. In order to have this driver autoprobing again, we just need to add missing MODULE_ALIAS() entries to edt-ft5x06 driver. Thanks to Dmitry for noticing that it actually should autoprobe even with of_device_id.
