Unlike the old design that the register setting of the TACH should based
on the configure of the PWM. In ast26xx, the dependency between pwm and
tach controller is eliminated and becomes a separate hardware block. One
is used to provide pwm output and another is used to monitor the frequency
of the input. This driver implements them by exposing two kernel
subsystems: PWM and HWMON. The PWM subsystem can be utilized alongside
existing drivers for controlling elements such as fans (pwm-fan.c),
beepers (pwm-beeper.c) and so on. Through the HWMON subsystem, the driver
provides sysfs interfaces for fan.

Changes since v9:
Change the type of fan-driving-mode to string
Fix some typos and formatting issues.


What is the resend about ?
