Unit-addresses are hex typically.

Why do you need a child node for tach. Is that a separate h/w block.

This is a property of the fan attached and belongs in a fan node 
describing the fan(s) properties. Until a common binding exists, further 
fan controller bindings are going to be rejected.

The furthest attempt was here[1]. And there's the Aspeed effort[2] which 
keeps ignoring our feedback. Please work together on these.
