So if we unload and reload the driver module, it should go back to the 
default? 

I think it is really, 'target RPM if not already configured' which could 
be keep the setting from a register (e.g. what the bootloader set) or 
perhaps you already have temperature information to use...

As I said before, the PWM binding handles these 2 settings. Use it. Yes, 
it's a bit of an overkill when the child is the consumer of the parent. 
Until some 'clever' h/w engineer decides to use one of the PWMs for 
something else like a backlight.
