Yes, there is a fallback path (which in theory will be removed one day)
in which the vendor is stripped off the dts entry and the rest matched
against the registered i2c device table.

However, it's less than ideal as it'll lead to a potential false match
if some other company uses dps310 as a part number.

Hence it is preferred to always provide and explicit dt binding which is
checked before this fallback path.

As a side note, this is a classic thing for people to pick up on and send
follow up patches for.  Makes everyone's life easier to do it early!

Thanks,

Jonathan
