I checked pwm-fan.txt. I don't find any common property which matches
our fan properties of fan wire mode & max-rpm. Are you suggesting to
add these properties additionally in pwm-fan.txt as new common properties
and then use newly added generic name in our driver?

Also, we have a dedicated PWM fan controller. So do you think this driver
belongs to drivers/hwmon instead of drivers/pwm? Thanks.

Rahul
