My tests do not confirm this. If I add a node with a "renesas,24c01"
compatible to my board, it works before your patch, but not after. If I
change it to "atmel,24c01" it works even after your patch. I haven't
looked into it, though, maybe i2c_of_match_device_sysfs() is stepping on
our foots here?

Did you test and did it work for you?
