Re: [PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: hwmon: Add binding for max6639

Thanks Guenter, to summarize below properties that can be configured
based on input from
fan datasheet:
pwm controlled fan:
1.  max-rpm : Defines maximum rpm the fan supports
2.  tach-pulse/pulse-per-revolution( also referred as prescale) :
Determines the number of
 pulses received from the sensor/tach pin of fan per revolution.
3.  rpm-init (also ref. as fan-target-rpm): Determines the fan rpm
driver needs to configure
during probe.
4. pwm-input-polarity(normal or inverse) : Specifies fan pwm input
polarity as specified in
 fan datasheet. a fan controller driver can use this data to configure
pwm output polarity
accordingly during driver probe.

For a DC output controlled fan, voltage across fan is controlled to control rpm.
Below is what I can think of:
5. voltage-range : Specifies valid voltage range for rpm control
example for 3V to 5V range:
     voltage-range=<3000 5000>;

Above mentioned properties are within the scope of fan.
Fan controllers like max6639/max6650 etc can have additional
properties specific to the
feather supported by the chip.

Let me know if I can go ahead with this.

Thanks,
Naresh Solanki
