They look quite different to me and should be separate IMO. Just looking at different LED functions and GPIO control lines is enough to make that determination. The LM3697 looks like a subset of LM3633 at least at a schematic diagram level, so maybe those can be shared. While we could litter the binding with conditions on properties depending on specific compatible strings (such as which GPIO properties apply to which compatible), that is going to be problematic down the line when we convert to json-schema[1].
