Currently I have an x86-based system with a Delta PSU
attched to it thought the i2c bus and OF is disabled.
That means that in the configuration above I can't instantiate
an i2c driver since the driver doesn't have the i2c match table.

Let's add the ability to match the driver with i2c like the
following command:

echo "dps920ab" 0x58 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-0/new_device
...
[616189.076211] i2c i2c-0: new_device: Instantiated device dps920ab at 0x58

v2: add more verbose changelog

Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst,
"The canonical patch format", describes in detail how a patch
description should look like. Anything from "The explanation body"
onwards is relevant here.

A useful patch description would be a simple "Add support for
instantiating the Delta DPS920AB PSU through I2C on systems without
devicetree support". Everything else is irrelevant for the patch
description and, if desired, should be after "---".

Thanks,
