PATCH 1/1 hwmon: Add support for MAX31785 intelligent fan controller

From: Timothy Pearson <[email protected]>

Add a basic driver for the MAX31785, focusing on the fan control features but ignoring the temperature and voltage monitoring features of the device.

This driver supports all fan control modes and tachometer / PWM readback where applicable.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Maxim MAX31785 chip.
+
+The MAX31785 controls the speeds of up to six fans using six independent
+PWM outputs. The desired fan speeds (or PWM duty cycles) are written
+through the I2C interface. The outputs drive "4-wire" fans directly,
+or can be used to modulate the fan's power terminals using an external
+pass transistor.
+
+Tachometer inputs monitor fan tachometer logic outputs for precise (+/-1%)
+monitoring and control of fan RPM as well as detection of fan failure.
