Differ in expected Vdd supply voltage. 3.3 vs 1.8V .  Looks like this has
knock on effects on things like self test values.  So I'd argue it's worth keeping
the distinction for device tree. 

We could do a double compatible

compatible = kionix,kx023-1024, konix,kx023;

but may be too late to do that now.
