If only the Who Am I value prevents it working if you give the compatible
as lisde12 then even though ST rarely if ever identifies it in datasheets, they are
software compatible.  In that case we should allow for a fallback compatible.
+ fix the driver not to fail on the whoami mismatch.
Note we don't care if they have totally different packages as long as
the driver doesn't need to know that.  If they have different numbers
of interrupts though or power supplies, then they aren't compatible and
we shouldn't provide a fallback.

Roughly speaking you have to compare datahsheet sections for pins (not which
but what) and register maps.

That applies even if the current driver will fail to probe (for now)
