the compatible added here but not used in dts (or driver), e.g 9/9 patch
I'd personally prefer to add it when actually being used
(so it can be validated in the real use cases..)

another concern is whether better to just use 'enum'? (maybe not)
but I got your idea to fallback to compatible of sophgo,sg2042-hwmon-mcu..

same with mmc, i2c..
