Just out of curiosity, is this an unreleased chip ? I only find
MAX311331 and MAX31334 on the Analog website, but the register
map for those is different, and they don't support reporting
the chip temperature.

According to the register map above, the chip does support
low and high temperature limits as well as over- and undertemperature
alarms and interrupts. I would suggest to add support for all of those.
You might also consider adding support for temperature alarm interrupts
and report temperature alarm events by calling hwmon_notify_event()
if a thermal event occurs.

There is no "depends on HWMON" in the Kconfig entry, meaning this will fail
to compile if HWMON=n or if HWMON=m and RTC_DRV_MAX31335=y.
