That would not help, as I've been suggested to use a generic "adc" in
node name property.

I can hard-code "max9611" here. That would not help with the fact that
two chips will appear in userspace with the same name (and that's why
I wanted to have the unit address).

Otherwise I can do what Quentin is suggesting in his review of
AST2400: have different name for each compatible entry, so that this
will appear as either max9611 or max9612 in userspace

Thanks
