If you correctly register a device with "vendor,product" in the devicetree
the driver can already fetch the of_device_id using of_match_device(dt_ids, 
&client->dev)
just like a platform driver would do aswell.

i2c_match_id will return a NULL pointer if called with "vendor,product",
because nothing matches in the drivers id_table, so for this case you
change nothing.

If anything, you introduce the problem that a devicetree capable driver
no longer gets a i2c_device_id if the device was instantiated with
i2c_board_info.

See how the mc13xxx driver does it:

        if (client->dev.of_node) {
                const struct of_device_id *of_id =
                        of_match_device(mc13xxx_dt_ids, &client->dev);
                mc13xxx->variant = of_id->data;
        } else {
                mc13xxx->variant = (void *)id->driver_data;
        }

This works.
