Hello,

Two issues have reared up regarding the recently applied MAX31785 driver:

The first issue, regarding unexpected NACKs from the device, was 
discovered in
earlier testing but its impact wasn't clear and its cause was not nailed 
down
at the time. The thought was it could be solved in slow-time, but this 
turned
out not to be the case. A work-around is presented in the last patch.

The second issue stems from a difference in hardware behaviour between
Witherspoon hardware levels. Integration testing machines do not have the
"installed" bit programmed into the max31785 chip out of the box, whilst 
it
appears that functional testing level machines do. The consequence is the
driver emitted some warnings and exposed none of the fans to userspace on 
ITC
level machines. A new devicetree property is added to make the driver 
configure
the installed bits in the max31785 chip during initialisation.

Please review.

Andrew
