Sorry about that. In reality what happened is that someone started 
trying to add support for the range then they left Analog Devices with 
the patch still in flight. In the mean time someone else from AD landed 
a driver for a single variant (with no public datasheet). I'm left 
trying to pick up the pieces.

This is effectively the original max313xx series patch with the max31335 
changes incorporated as best I can. I can probably rename more things so 
there is less delta against the max31335 driver.
