pmbus: Add driver for Maxim MAX31785 Intelligent Fan Controller
The Maxim MAX31785 is a PMBus device providing closed-loop, multi-channel fan management with temperature and remote voltage sensing. It supports various fan control features, including PWM frequency control, temperature hysteresis, dual tachometer measurements, and fan health monitoring. This patch presents a basic driver using only the existing features of the PMBus subsystem.

+Description
+-----------
+
+The Maxim MAX31785 is a PMBus device providing closed-loop, multi-channel fan
+management with temperature and remote voltage sensing. Various fan control
+features are provided, including PWM frequency control, temperature hysteresis,
+dual tachometer measurements, and fan health monitoring.
+
+For dual rotor fan configuration, the MAX31785 exposes the slowest rotor of the
+two in the fan[1-4]_input attributes.
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not probe for PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate
+devices explicitly.
