The driver has an ID table, but it uses the wrong API for retrieving match
data and that will lead to a crash, if it is instantiated by user space or
using ID. From this, there is no user for the ID table and let's drop it
from the driver as it saves some memory.

I think this has had enough time to marinate, so landed to drm-misc-next:

39e0b96d61b6 drm/bridge/analogix/anx78xx: Drop ID table
