When matching an OF device, the match mechanism tries all components of
the compatible property. This can result with a device matched with a
compatible string that isn't the first in the compatible list. For
instance, with a compatible property set to
compatible = "ti,dac081c081", "ti,dac5571";
the driver will match the second compatible string, as the first one
isn't listed in the of_device_id table. The device will however be named
"dac081c081" by the I2C core.
This causes an issue when identifying the chip. The probe function
receives a i2c_device_id that comes from the module's I2C device ID
table. There is no entry in that table for "dac081c081", which results
in a NULL pointer passed to the probe function.
To fix this, add chip_id information in the data field of the OF device
ID table, and retrieve it with device_get_match_data() for OF
devices.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
