I doubt it was intentional. Mostly people do this because the magic
fallbacks to find the spi_device_id entry work.

If we'd noticed at review time it would not have gone in like this.
Note that the spi_match_id() use of_modalias_node() which has stripped the
vendor id off the compatible then matches against the spi_device_id
table.

So it 'should' just work.  Now ideally we'd switch to
spi_get_device_match_data() but that needs more significant changes.
Though simple enough ones that review would be enough.

Just need to use pointers to the ad75755_chip_info_tbl entries
rather than the enum in both the spi id table and the of one - this
avoids the issue with the enum value of 0 counting as a failed match.
