Oh, I get it now, it's set in the next patch. That's not OK, each patch
should do something useful in its own right. This suggests that you
have to swap patches 5/7 and 6/7 in the series, first adding a separate
type for the MAX6659, then adding support for the emergency limits.

Or if this is too much work for you, you may decide to merge both
patches (hint: "quilt fold" is quite helpful for this, if you're using
quilt).
