That binding model is used by most Linux drivers. -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.
