I guess you should specify the exact chip.

Which will present interesting problem for me on Nokia N9/N950; in one
case, compatible chip is produced by two companies, and it looks like
some machines have one and some have the other; but we'd like to share
the dts as user has no chance telling them apart (and it is not
important, anyway).

In second case, chip is refered as APDS990X and I don't know where to
get more exact data.
