Hi Roeck,

The node in the devicetree file will looks like following:

tach0: tach0@1e610008 {

         compatible = "aspeed,ast2600-tach";

         reg = <0x1e610008 0x8>;

         #address-cells = <1>;

         #size-cells = <0>;

         pinctrl-names = "default";

         pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_tach0_default>;

         clocks = <&syscon ASPEED_CLK_AHB>;

         resets = <&syscon ASPEED_RESET_PWM>;

         status = "disabled";

};


Neither reg nor pinctrl is mentioned in the bindings. Maybe that is not needed nowadays,
but I find it confusing.

Either case, it is highly unusual that there would be 16 instances of this device
instead of one. Why is this done ? It doesn't really make sense to me.
