The reference driver polled but mentioned it was possible to sleep
for a computed period to know when it's ready to read.  However, polling
is quick and works.  This also improves responsiveness from the driver.

Testing: tested on ast2400 on quanta-q71l

Not such a good idea. It means that the poll timeout depends on the local CPU speed.
At some point, with some CPUs, this is going to fail.

No hot loop, please. Please use usleep_range() or similar within the loop,
and a well defined timeout.

You might possibly consider using regmap_read_poll_timeout().

      tach_div = priv->type_fan_tach_clock_division[type];
