i2c: Documentation: fix device matching description
The matching process described for new style clients in Documentation/i2c/writing-clients is classed as out-of-date as it requires the presence of an .id_table entry in the driver's i2c_driver entry. Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

Drivers match devices when i2c_client.driver_name and the driver name are
|
||||
the same; this approach is used in several other busses that don't have

device typing support in the hardware. The driver and module name should
|

match, so hotplug/coldplug mechanisms will modprobe the driver.
|

The probe function is called when an entry in the id_table name field
|
||||
matches the device's name. It is passed the entry that was matched so
|
||||
the driver knows which one in the table matched.
