I expect I'll be dropping this patch. At this point it looks like we
have another chip on the bus interfering with transactions to the
MAX31785. Checking the behaviour with a scope showed that SCL was being
held down by something that wasn't the master, but according to Maxim
the SCL pin on the MAX31785 is input-only and therefore it cannot
interfere in the manner we observed. Further testing has narrowed down
the list of candidates for the interference, but our investigation is
ongoing.
