Yes, I'll drop "driver" at v2 updating.

I tested the binding, I didn't see any warning/error log. Please review 
my logs as below

=> make dt_binding_check DT_SCHEMA_FILES=/hwmon/max31790.yaml

Hi Krzysztof,
I checked the history of the drivers/hwmon/max31790.c and see Guenter 
Roeck <linux at roeck-us.net> as an important maintainer. I saw many 
commits from him. So, I add him to maintainer list.

I suggest some node names, such as "i2c-fan" or "fan-controller" . Can 
you please share your ideas with me!
