I'd say adding support for the MAX6659 is worth it. Just don't add
detection. That is, all of MAX6657, 6658 and 6658 should be detected as
max6657, which has the minimum set of features. But if someone declares
a "max6659" device either as part of the platform data or from
user-space, then the driver should expose all the chip features.

Deal?
