Agree? If the part has more features than the base compatible (or a different WAI) then we can definitely have a backup compatible for it (hence making that subset of features work on an old kernel). We still want to introduce the new compatible so that we get the name right etc going forwards and are in a good position to add the extra features if we ever get around to it. > > The only difference between asm330lhhx and asm330lhh is the former supports > sensor-hub while the latter does not declare it (even if the use the same > whoami). > AFAIK there is no way to autodetect if the sensor supports sensor-hub and > we can just try to discover slave devices connected.
