At least the chip does officially exist now, and a datasheet is available.

https://www.analog.com/en/products/ltc4287.html

It shows that coefficients for the telemetry commands are different,
meaning that indeed both chips need to be explicitly referenced
in the properties description (and handled in the driver, which proves
my point of needing a datasheet before accepting such a driver).

I still would prefer one of the more common properties.
I still prefer adi,vrange-high-enable.
