dmesg | grep lm85 is not possible because the system is running for a long
time. But doing this on /var/log/messages just provides the following:

I just notice that an identical system which has the same problems does not
show the line "lm85 0-002e: Client (0,0x2e) is not ready", ie:

      lm85 0-002e: Client (0,0x2e) config is locked.
      lm85 0-002e: Client (0,0x2e) VxI mode is set. Please report this to the lm85 maintainer.

Here the i2cdump you asked:

    i2cdump 0 0x2e
    No size specified (using byte-data access)
    WARNING! This program can confuse your I2C bus, cause data loss and worse!
    I will probe file /dev/i2c-0, address 0x2e, mode byte
