hwmon: Add tachometer pulses per fan revolution to sysfs ABI
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Some fan control chips support a configuration register to set the number of
tachometer pulses per fan revolution. Add an ABI attribute to support this
configuration register.

Note that this is actually an internal clock divisor, which
affects the measurable speed range, not the read value.

fan[1-*]_pulses Number of tachometer pulses per fan revolution.
Integer value, typically between 1 and 4.

This value is a characteristic of the fan connected to the
device's input, so it has to be set in accordance with the fan
model.
Should only be created if the chip has a register to configure
the number of pulses. In the absence of such a register (and
thus attribute) the value assumed by all devices is 2 pulses
per fan revolution.

Desired fan speed
