Add common fan properties bindings to a schema.

Bindings for fan controllers can reference the common schema for the
fan

Same question as before:

How are additional common bindings, such as min-rpm or fan-divider
(also sometimes called fan-prescale) supposed to be handled ?
As additions to this schema, or individually in each driver needing/
using them ?

Thanks,
Guenter

Is a fan a hardware monitoring device? Maybe this should not be called a
fan?

I think target depends on conditions, e.g. it is rarely one target.

Use common units, so -hz

However I wonder if frequency is appropriate here - I thought PWMs are
rather configured via duty cycles.

Rather: Inversed PWM polarity for the fan.

Hi Guenter,

fan-common is intended for fan properties. i.e., those derived from
fan datasheets.
For min-rpm, some fans have minimum non zero rpm like 1900rpm below which
the fan cannot run.

But not sure what the best approach is but for chip specific setting
it should be in
chip specific DT schema. Suggestion?

I would argue the properties are for fan controllers, not for fans.
Fans don't have or depend on specific pwm frequencies. Fan controllers
do. Fans don't have a configurable pwm polarity. Fan controllers do,
to match the hardware on a board. Fans don't have or rely on
a target rpm. That is a system property, configured into the
fan controller. And so on.

If this is for fans, we'll need another set of properties for
fan controllers. The driver for max6639, being a fan controller,
would need to implement those properties.

Also, as implemented in the MAX6639, max-rpm is the fan's
rpm range, not the actual rpm. Your implementation is just
confusing, including the example in the bindings. Valid values
should be what the chip accepts, not some random value.

Really, I don't understand where you are going with this.

Presumably fan controllers can produce a range of frequencies. If they
need a specific frequency, then why are they programmable? Something
outside the fan controller must have the constraint.

We don't model an inverter, so it's got to go somewhere.

Yes, but it is per fan. per fan properties/settings should go in the fan
node IMO.

A fan would have some design maximum RPM depending on its mechanical
design and lifetime requirements. A controller would have some maximum
in terms of electrical pulse frequency or register bit sizes (depending
how RPM or pulse counts are exposed to s/w. That should all be implied
from the controller part and not in DT. It's the mechanical limits of
the fan we should be defining here.

> Really, I don't understand where you are going with this.

Certainly it needs more thought for different cases.

I assume there's a known set of values various fans have?

Which driver? I think 'default-rpm' would be a better name.

Both of these properties are handled by the PWM binding already. I
think this should use it even though the PWMs are just connected to
the child nodes. There's always the possibility that someone hooks up
a fan controller PWM to something else besides a fan.

Doesn't a fan need power? 'fan-supply' is already in use, so that could be used.

Drop the example here as you have it in the max6639 schema.

Hi Rob, Guenter, Krzysztof,

I want to align with the implementation for the fan dt schema.

Current implementation is intending to use fan-common.yaml only for the purpose
of defining fan property as I felt this is the best way. This is how
other drivers have approached(eg: leds)

With this fan-controller driver will configure the chip based on fan
characteristics accordingly.
target-rpm/default-rpm is included in it to enable driver configure
fan controllers during driver
probe.

Fan datasheets do specify the pwm frequency used to evaluate its
characteristic. That is the reason I've
included pwm-frequency here which fan-controller drivers can use &
initialize pwm frequency accordingly.

I'm ok with other approaches so do provide your perspective.

Regards,
Naresh Solanki
