OK, I have no idea what chip that is, but it looks more standard than
the thing at 0x4f. So I won't blacklist I2C address 0x2c.

I'm surprised, as I actually expected 0xbf to lead to the broken state
the display was into after running sensors-detect (while value 0xff
would fix it, or at least make it better.) So there will be some
mystery left, which will last as long as we don't know which chip it is.

This is enough testing, I'll commit two safety fixes to sensors-detect.
Thanks for your cooperation.
