Hi Rob,
 
I didn't redefine the type of property. The type of the aspeed,fan-tach-ch is unit8-array
in aspeed-pwm-tacho.txt.

Okay I will try to work with Naresh for defining a common fan binding.
 
Thanks for your suggestion.
 
Hi Naresh,
 
As Rob mentioned, it would be advisable for my dt-bindings to reference the common fan bindings instead of introducing specific properties.
I noticed that you have already submitted a related patch to the community, which seems to be pending for around 10 months.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221116213615.1256297-2-Naresh.Solanki@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
Do you have plans to send the next version of the patch? Alternatively, can I proceed to cherry-pick this version of the patch and continue with
the upstreaming process in my patch serial?
 
Thanks
Best Regards,
Billy Tsai
