Ability to bind driver in the device tree

[insekt]

It's necessary to make some enhancement to the driver's code so the Linux kernel can bind devices with driver. According to this tutorial http://xillybus.com/tutorials/device-tree-zynq-3 here are changes that need to be done.

static struct of_device_id optoe_of_match[] = {
    { .compatible = "oom,optoe", },
    {}
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, optoe_of_match);

and add .of_match_table = optoe_of_match, property

static struct i2c_driver optoe_driver = {
    .driver = {
        .name = "optoe",
        .owner = THIS_MODULE,
        .of_match_table = optoe_of_match,
    },
    .probe = optoe_probe,
    .remove = optoe_remove,
    .id_table = optoe_ids,
};

This experiment is in progress, now working on device tree part to check this fix.

Device tree support is included in the August 12, 2021 drop, specifically in commit 3ef1e9f5. See the optoe.txt file for the device tree info specified in the manner of Linux kernel documentation.
