Yes, I was far too vague..I'm going to stop explicitly populating the
data field.

static const struct of_device_id bcm59056_of_match[] = {
	{ .compatible = "brcm,bcm59056"},
	{ }
};

Agreed. I'm just dropping explicit population of the driver_data field
here.

static const struct i2c_device_id bcm59056_i2c_id[] = {
	{ "bcm59056" },
	{ }
};

Well, it's not even necessary for I2C ID table. the I2C subsystem is
happy with just a matching entry on the i2c_device_id name field and
NULL driver_data. palmas is implemented in this manner.
