Hi Rob,

Note that you commented on v2, while I posted v3 yesterday.

Right.  This split dates back from when I considered adding all
possible compatible values.  It can indeed be simplified to:

          - enum:
              - adafruit,3108  # 0.56" 4-Digit 7-Segment FeatherWing
Display (Red)
              - adafruit,3130  # 0.54" Quad Alphanumeric FeatherWing
Display (Red)
          - const: holtek,ht16k33

It is false if there is more than one compatible value.
