This driver was initially written for cm36686, which is an ambient light and
proximity sensor. But cm36672p shares the same register and regfield layout, it
is just missing an ambient light channel, because it is a proximity-only sensor
and has no ambient light registers.
In v1 the compatible looked like this:
  compatible:
    enum:
      - capella,cm36686
      - capella,cm36672p
