The of_device_id table is added by patch 3/4 of this series
("hwmon: (sht3x) Add devicetree support"), so there is no gap once
the series is applied. Within the series the binding intentionally
comes first, following the usual convention that dt-bindings changes
precede the driver changes that implement them.

The compatibles introduced here did not probe before this series
either, so no bisection point regresses.
