[PATCH] iio: light: ltrf216a: Document the device name

[Shreeya Patel]

Compatible 'ltr,ltrf216a' is used by Valve's Steamdeck device
via the ACPI + PRP0001 mechanism.
Document the device name alognside the compatible.

Hi Shreeya,

I'm guessing you used get_maintainers for this.  Always check that there
isn't anyone else who should be added.

Given the root of this was the discussion about dropping this undocumented
binding the DT maintainers and list should definitely be CC'd + Marek
who was part of the earlier discussion.

The fact that this isn't a typical ID from a Windows consumer device does
change things a little, but I'd imagine a firmware update for the steamdeck
is equally unlikely to happen in order to fix the vendor-id.
(I was surprised to discover they provide windows drivers for it but
not seeing the light sensor in the list)

So my opinion is that we should keep this ID in place with an enhanced
description.

The other suggestion from the Krzysztof's thread was the risk of this getting
abused.  Perhaps we should specifically fail to probe if that ID is used and
it's not an ACPI firmware?

Add that the steamdeck is an ACPI platform using PRP0001 as that's
the key part that is different from a normal 'wrong' of_device_id.

Use of it can now not pass validation with dtschema. IMO, that's enough.

Sorry about that, I used get_maintainers like you said but I'll keep this in
mind next time.

Rob said in another thread that use of it can now not pass the validation
with dtschema. So I'm guessing we don't need to add any extra checks anymore?

However, I'll send a v2 with enhanced description alongside the ID.

That's how I interpreted Rob's reply as well.
