In the bindings you are giving the compatible property as : ti,tmp103, but here only tmp103.

Instead of using the i2c_device_id struct , use of_device_id struct for giving the
compatible property value.
compatble = "<manufacturer>,<model>"

There are a lot of drivers in drivers/hwmon which use "i2c_device_id struct",
and for them only "model" is necessary ...

As this is not a platform driver, I do not know, if "of_device_id struct"
is possible to use. For that, it must be converted to a platform
device driver ...

I thought your are using the devicetree source to load the driver. In that case it need not to be platform driver.
we can use "of_device_id struct" which matches the bindings in your trivial-devices.txt


This would be unnecessary. The bindings will work just fine as-is.

I am starting to repeat myself, as do you. May I kindly suggest that you
spend some time educating yourself ?

Thanks,
Guenter
