Since I am making changes to the existing driver instead of creating a new one,
I introduced a new patch series. As I mentioned in the cover letter, cm36686 is
fully compatible with vcnl4040, so instead of creating a new binding, I create a
fallback compatible for the device. I probably should have named this patch
series something else.
As for the previous feedback, I added the subject prefix and removed the
redundant phrasing.
