The dual tachometer feature is implemented in hardware with a TACHSEL
input to indicate the rotor under measurement, and exposed on the device
by extending the READ_FAN_SPEED_1 word with two extra bytes*. The need
to read the non-standard four-byte response leads to a cut-down
implementation of i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated() included in the driver.
Further, to expose the second rotor tachometer value to userspace the
values are exposed through virtual pages. We re-route accesses to
FAN_CONFIG_1_2 and READ_FAN_SPEED_1 on pages 23-28 (not defined by the
hardware) to the same registers on pages 0-5, and with the latter command
we extract the value from the second word of the four-byte response.
* The documentation recommends the slower rotor be associated with
TACHSEL=0, which corresponds to the first word of the response. The
TACHSEL=0 measurement is used by the controller's closed-loop fan
management to judge target fan rate.

The implementation makes use of the new fan control virtual registers
exposed by the pmbus core. It mixes use of the default implementations
with some overrides via the read/write handlers to handle FAN_COMMAND_1
on the MAX31785, whose definition breaks the value range into various
control bands dependent on RPM or PWM mode.

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.
