Thanks for the quick feedback, Conor.

I first thought of just mentioning the ina237 in the documentation as
"compatible" to the ina238. But IMHO it is better understandable if it's
listed as compatible.

And I would strongly encourage mentioning it somewhere (documentation or
compatible). So other people using the ina237 are able to find it and
don't have to compare the datasheets by themselves to find the right
driver.
