You evidently don't understand my comments. My suggestion is to do this:

fanc: fan-controller {
  #pwm-cells = <3>;
  ...

  fan {
    pwms = <&fanc 0 500000  PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED>;
    ...
  };
};

0 is PWM number and 500000 is the PWM frequency. The 3rd cell are per
consumer flags. See pwm.txt for more details.
