Re: [PATCH 0/7] hwmon: (max31790) Fixes and improvements

["Václav Kubernát" <kubernat@cesnet.cz>]

Hello,

I have tested your patches. It seems like the driver is now a lot more
usable, thanks. What seems to be still unusable for me, is RPM mode.
The chip creates an effort to set the RPM, but it almost never
stabilizes. I think the reason is mainly because the driver doesn't
work with registers like "window" and "pwm rate of change". PWM mode
seems to work fine.

I think some of the patches in my patch series on the chip are now
obsolete. However, I do think at least fanX_div should be implemented.
When testing with Sunon PF36281BX-000U-S99 (its max RPM is 23000), the
default divisor is not enough (one bit of change equals to about 500
RPM). The only way to change the divisor right now, is to set the
target RPM or min RPM.

There is also the regmap patch, but I've implemented that one mainly
because it made the driver a bit easier to debug.
