This seems a gap to me but I'm not 100% sure.
I saw Grant Likely introduced the OF style MODALIAS to platform bus, and
OF style registration/binding to i2c bus, maybe he has an answer for
this.
This is needed for ACPI because we rewrite the device names to give us
stable names. With OF for I2C and SPI nothing bus specific is done that
affects this stuff so the default behaviour works.
Sidenote: actually this modalias/module loading issue is different and not related to stable ACPI i2c/spi slave device names.
