Do you mean changing in the lan865x.c file? if yes then I got the
warning "SPI driver lan865x has no spi_device_id for microchip,lan8651"

But after updating the lan865x.c like below, the warning disappeared.

static const struct spi_device_id spidev_spi_ids[] = {
{ .name = "lan8650" },
{ .name = "lan8651" },
{},
};

Note: In both the above two cases compatible in the dts is
compatible = "microchip,lan8651", "microchip,lan8650";

Best regards,
