Add common fan properties bindings to a schema.

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

child nodes:

  patternProperties:
    "^fan@[0-2]":
      type: object
      $ref: fan-common.yaml#

So if we unload and reload the driver module, it should go back to the 
default? 

I think it is really, 'target RPM if not already configured' which could 
be keep the setting from a register (e.g. what the bootloader set) or 
perhaps you already have temperature information to use...

As I said before, the PWM binding handles these 2 settings. Use it. Yes, 
it's a bit of an overkill when the child is the consumer of the parent. 
Until some 'clever' h/w engineer decides to use one of the PWMs for 
something else like a backlight.

This is RPM to be set during probe if desired.

Yes. missed it. It should be target-rpm will correct this. in next version.

I would like you to consider this as something recommended by fan 
datasheet for the given fan instance.
This info can be used by fan controller driver to configure PWM 
source/provider accordingly.

If you still feel that may not make sense then I'll remove this property.

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.

Did the implementation & while testing getting the below err:
[63.626505] max6639 166-002e: failed to create device link to 166-002e

Does turning off fw_devlink help (fw_devlink=off)?

This didn't bring any difference for the error.
Failing due to same consumer & supplier.
Returning from here:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/base/core.c#L702
Also this can cause return:

Will supplier == consumer, device link creation fails.
Not sure what is best approach but not creating device link in this 
scenario help & for that below additional changes needed in pwm core.
