FWIW, only one is needed.

I prefer mine slightly over Nicks since it continues to use struct max9611_conf_ids which is the type required by the max9611_read_single() function..

I don't have a strong opinion though, and did not look deeper into why the driver makes the differentiation between struct max9611_conf_ids and ax9611_csa_gain...
