Changes for v2:
- Rename cooling-pwm-values to cooling-levels
- Remove default-pulse-width property and stick to default hwmon policy
Changes for v3:
- Changing commit title from "hwmon: dts: Doc:" to "Documentation: dts"
- Remove unnecessary properties
- Set maximal cooling level to 230 instead of 255

- pwms : the PWM that is used to control the PWM fan
+- cooling-levels : PWM duty cycle values in a range from 0 to 255
