Right, but I think a better workaround would have been to change
the board_info to pick a modalias that is part of the ID table:

--- a/drivers/misc/eeprom/digsy_mtc_eeprom.c
+++ b/drivers/misc/eeprom/digsy_mtc_eeprom.c
@@ -76,7 +76,7 @@ static struct gpiod_lookup_table eeprom_spi_gpiod_table = {

static struct spi_board_info digsy_mtc_eeprom_info[] __initdata = {
{
- .modalias = "93xx46",
+ .modalias = "eeprom-93xx46",
.max_speed_hz = 1000000,
.bus_num = EE_SPI_BUS_NUM,
.chip_select = 0,
