On the name: the Fairphone 6 repair document's block diagram labels
the part "3IN1 ALPS/RGB sensor/STK36C61", without the A ([1], page
107), while the LCSC and JLCPCB listings carry the -A name. The
diagram is provenance rather than proof because the same page
misrenders two other part names and I have not read the package
marking itself.

The driver name would follow the existing family convention either
way: this driver already binds the four STK3311 variants (STK3311,
-A, -S34, -X), each with its own chip ID in stk3310_chip_ids, under
the single name "stk3311".

On the ID: the published sheet says 0x93, Luca's 0.9.2 revision says
0x95, and the part in the phone reads 0x95. stk3310_chip_ids is a
flat accept-list, so if a final sheet moved the ID again it would be
added alongside, not swapped.

Luca, can you confirm which part is actually in the device, the
STK36C61 or the STK36C61-A?
