I think its the safer approach.

On an OF system, such as patch 3 in the series, the "hid-over-i2c" will
end up running through this (kind of the whole reason why this series
exists). The vendor and product ids will still match, so we'll end up
going through the lists to see if the hdev->name (the compatible string)
will match the blacklist. "hid-over-i2c" won't match the blacklist, but
if there is a more specific compatible, it might.

In that case, not matching OF would work, however how it could break
today is if both "hid-over-i2c" and "elan,ekth3000" were listed for the
same device, and elan_i2c was not compiled. In that case, if we skip
the OF part of the black list, hid-quirks will not reject the device,
and you'll probably have some odd behavior instead of the obvious "the
device doesn't work because the correct driver isn't present" behavior.

While that scenario might be far fetched since having both
"hid-over-i2c" and "elan,ekth3000" probably violates the OF bindings,
its still safer to include the OF case in the blacklist against future
scenarios.
