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

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.
Please let me know if this approach is acceptable, or if there are any
other suggestions or concerns that you have.
You are adding new bindings, so what does the driver has to do with it?
The reason for adding these new bindings is to enable the use of the
driver on my machine. Without the compatible string, it would not be
possible to use the driver.
Currently, the driver initializes the device with defaults, which is
good enough for my application. Also, as you previously pointed out, it
uses the optional 'fan-supply' which will be included in the next patch
revision.
I hope this clarifies my reasoning. Could you kindly confirm if we can
proceed with this approach?
