Unfortunately the I2C core can't be changed without breaking a lot of
I2C drivers that are relying on the current behavior. I've already
posted a RFC patch [0] for I2C that does this about a year ago and
enumerated the issues that have to be addressed before the change can
be made (and fixed some of the issues mentioned) on this series [1].
Another issue is that an I2C device ID table is a requirement anyways
since I2C drivers expect an i2c_device_id as an argument of their
probe function. Kieran already have patches [2] to change that which
should land soon.
I plan to fix the remaining I2C drivers once his patches are merged
and re-post the RFC patch as a proper one.

Yes, this is the workaround used by most DT-only I2C drivers. The only
reason that these drivers have an I2C device ID is due the
restrictions imposed by the I2C core.
