Ideas for a range of FP4(+)

@y_cho and @AndreasChris picking out this discussion reg the FP5 Screen for the FP4 as I think that subject covers it best.

In my eyes this will not work still because

  1. FP4 and FP5 are not sized the same and the connector does not fit and
  2. I guess what was recently said about the FP3 fingerprint sensor is true for all modules irrespective of which device.

The fingerprint sensor itself is just one of the components within the fingerprint sub-assembly. The design, pin configuration, and other aspects of the sensor may vary between different manufacturers and models. Therefore, the FPCs (flexible printed circuits) would likely require re-layout, and the module would need to undergo a comprehensive process of review, firmware/driver development, testing, validation, and certification when considering a new fingerprint sensor.
