This doesn't really solve the problem since it would match _all_
non-existing entries with lm75 (instead of whatever is intended).
That doesn't matter for lm75a, but it would matter if someone
would enter, say, "bla,adt75".
On a side note, "nxp,lm75a" (nor "nxp,lm75", for that matter) is not a
documented compatible string for this driver. If anything, we would
need a means to explicitly reject such undefined compatible strings.
One option might be to define the first entry in enum lm75_type
explicitly as invalid, check for it and reject it if returned.
