That's what the datasheet says, at least. I find it weird that enabling
UART6 has an effect on VIN5 vs. FAN3_TAC, especially when UART6 pins
can be remapped to a completely different location, but maybe this is
really how the chip works.

I think I wouldn't introduce variable fan3, as it is kind of a
misnomer, and a proper name would be overly long. But this is an
implementation detail.

Björn, what is your design using pin 93 for?
