Hi Peter,

I have tested your patch with the pca9846 device and I confirm it works.
Moreover, after short debugging, I can confirm that all read ids
(manufacture, part and die) seem to be correct. Moreover, in case of
misconfiguration, the probe function return a proper message and fails
as expected.

Regards,
Adrian
