If they followed a naming logic similar to National Semiconductor, G781
will have address 0x4C and G781-1 will have address 0x4D. They are
basically the exact same chip except for the address, so the driver
doesn't even need to know, other than the fact that both addresses 0x4C
and 0x4D are possible.
