It is customary to explain the difference to already supported chips
and what changes were made to support the new chip(s).

The purpose of having more than one group is to simplify support for optional
features while at the same time avoiding duplication. This is why there used to be
two groups (plus an unused entry for list termination).

Separating and duplicating all attributes into one group per supported chip
type defeats that purpose. Please don't do that, and revert the related changes.

This should not be reduced to two entries, but increased to four or even five;
see below.

This should become the core attribute group, ie the list of attributes supported
by all chips.

The EMC1412 does support alarms, so I would suggest to add another optional
group for EMC1412 alarms (needed because the alarm register and bits are not
compatible to the registers/bits used by other chips supported by this driver).

Modify this group to list the attributes only supported by EMC1403
and compatible chips (on top of the core or emc1412 group).

This is exactly what you don't want to do; it is unnecessary duplication.
There was a reason for having the second group on top of the first one,
as explained above.

Unnecessary empty lines and unnecessary whitespace change.

This change makes the comment pretty much worthless. It used to describe
what the function is doing, which is no longer the case after your change.

This should be a separate patch, as it applies to emc1403/emc1404 as well,
so we can backport it into -stable.

Not acceptable. Again, there is a reason for having multiple attribute groups.

No duplication of addresses, and addresses are by convention in order.
Jean, any addresses which should not be scanned ?

It may be time to introduce an enum for supported chip variants.
Also, the list is by custom in alphabetical order.
