This check is incorrect and checks the wrong register. Furthermore there
is no documented shared device id register for MAX96712. There might be
overlap with the soon to be added MAX96724 device which do document such
a register.
However as the check was merely a precaution and to check during
development that the driver could talk to the device there is no harm in
removing it all together. A correct and more sophisticated check can be
added later if there ever is a need to differentiate between different
versions of a device.
