That happens when the client is created. Relevant are:

int of_i2c_get_board_info(struct device *dev, struct device_node *node,
	...
{
	...
	if (of_alias_from_compatible(node, info->type, sizeof(info->type)) < 0) {
		...
}

which sets info->type from .compatible with the vendor part skipped.
Then

static struct i2c_client *of_i2c_register_device(...)
{
	...
	ret = of_i2c_get_board_info(&adap->dev, node, &info);
	...
	client = i2c_new_client_device(adap, &info);
	...
}

where i2c_new_client_device() uses info->type to populate client->name.

Best regards
Uwe
