I've indeed noticed that there should have been a fallback for
dac121c081, but didn't stop to ponder why that wasn't the case, and just
went along with the flow :-) I agree a fallback could be useful, which
would then allow dropping patch 2/5 from this series (*). I can do so if
you prefer.

* This is not entirely true. While the DAC1081C081 is largely compatible
with the DAC5573, they have different values for one of the power-down
resistors (2.5kΩ instead of 1kΩ if I recall correctly). To be completely
accurate, the driver should report that. We could still use the fallback
compatible, reporting the wrong power-down resistor value.
