What does xx stand for? Wildcard? I do not see cc2dxx in part numbers.
We expect specific compatibles, not generic. What are the differences
between all parts?

There are two device families: cc2dxx and cc2dxxs, where xx indicates
the voltage and the accuracy. That does not change how the devices works
and it is not relevant for the driver. The 's' indicates that it is a
sleep device, and that modifies how it works.
I listed the supported part numbers in the hwmon documentation, where
they are also divided into these two families.

If the number of devices is relatively small, list them all. Otherwise
choose one device model and use it. No family models. No wildcards.


Agreed. There is no guarantee that CC2D[00..99][X] will be the same
devices.
