Usually in such case driver should behave differently for different devices. This difference is chosen by compatible. Since there is already max77836 compatible - which has the ALERT pin (probably it just includes 17043 fuel gauge) - you can customize it. No need for new compatible, unless it stops working on max77836... Anyway, configuring interrupts on max17040 would be probably harmless but still it is not really correct. The registers should not be touched in such case. Best regards, Krzysztof
