The max31335 binding covers one specific chip. This binding covers more and with that there are a few more properties that the max31335 on it's own doesn't have (e.g. the clock consumer, the ability to have different i2c addresses).

The max31335 is not available

I guess this would be the opposite. Renaming a driver breaks existing kernel configurations.
