What is this device? fan controller?
Yes Fan controller.
Do you want me to update the title here as:
"Maxim MAC6639 2 channel fan controller & temperature monitor" ?

Enough would be:
Maxim MAX6639 Fan Controller
Ack

Why do you need these two properties?
Ack. Will remove them.

Anyway, the binding looks incomplete. Where are the supplies? Interrupts?
This patch just adds basic support to the existing platform driver.
Intention is to be able to call the driver from DT with basic
initialization from driver the existing driver.

Bindings should be rather complete. Here the datasheet is accessible and
few properties quite obvious, so I don't see a reason to skip them.
I agree with you. But currently the driver which is already merged doesn't has it implemented.
And will be working on separate patch to include this later.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
