Hi Rob,

The tach interrupt for the pwm-fan is option. In our case, the dts just reuse the pwm control function
of the pwm-fan, and the part of the tach monitor will be created by our fan child nodes.
So the dts will like followings:

// Use to declare the tach monitor for fan.
&pwm_tach {
        fan-0 {
		tach-ch = /bits/ 8 <0x0>;
	};
	fan-1 {
		tach-ch = /bits/ 8 <0x1>;
	};
        ...
}

// Reuse the pwm-fan.c to control the behavior of the PWM for fan.
fan0: pwm-fan0 {
        compatible = "pwm-fan";
        pwms = <&pwm_tach 0 40000 0>;   /* Target freq:25 kHz */
        cooling-min-state = <0>;
        cooling-max-state = <3>;
        #cooling-cells = <2>;
        cooling-levels = <0 15 128 255>;
};

fan1: pwm-fan1 {
        compatible = "pwm-fan";
        pwms = <&pwm_tach 1 40000 0>;   /* Target freq:25 kHz */
        cooling-min-state = <0>;
        cooling-max-state = <3>;
        #cooling-cells = <2>;
        cooling-levels = <0 15 128 255>;
};

Thanks
