Actually, the two are exactly equivalent. The point is that the
compatible naming scheme doesn't follow what we are using (which is
<family>-<soc>-i2c), so we wan't to get rid of the old naming scheme
all together.

Since they are strictly compatible, we don't need to introduce any
different compatible string here.
