The device tree binding says that is valid, so this needs fixing.

Maybe copy max1111.c in hwmon:

static const struct spi_device_id max1111_ids[] = {
{ "max1110", max1110 },
{ "max1111", max1111 },
{ "max1112", max1112 },
{ "max1113", max1113 },
{ },
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(spi, max1111_ids);

static struct spi_driver max1111_driver = {
.driver = {
.name = "max1111",
},
.id_table = max1111_ids,
.probe = max1111_probe,
.remove = max1111_remove,
};

Interestingly, there is no compatible table. So the device tree
binding probably should change, not require two compatibles for
lan8651.
