Add generic PWM based tachometer driver via HWMON interface
to report the RPM of motor. This drivers get the period/duty
cycle from PWM IP which captures the motor PWM output.

This driver implements a simple interface for monitoring the speed of
a fan and exposes it in roatations per minute (RPM) to the user space
by using the hwmon's sysfs interface

+Kernel driver generic-pwm-tachometer
+====================================
+
+This driver enables the use of a PWM module to monitor a fan. It 
uses the
+generic PWM interface and can be used on SoCs as along as the SoC 
supports
+Tachometer controller that moniors the Fan speed in periods.

+Description
+-----------
+
+The driver implements a simple interface for monitoring the Fan 
speed using
+PWM module and Tachometer controller. It requests period value 
through PWM
+capture interface to Tachometer and measures the Rotations per 
minute using
+received period value. It exposes the Fan speed in RPM to the user 
space by
+using the hwmon's sysfs interface.

"rpm" is not a standard hwmon sysfs attribute. If you don't provide
a single standard hwmon sysfs attribute, having a hwmon driver is 
pointless.
Guenter Roeck,
I will define a new hwmon sysfs attribute node called 
"hwmon_tachometer_attributes" in hwmon.h like below and update the 
same in tachometer hwmon driver. Is it fine ?
enum hwmon_tachometer_attributes {
Are you kidding me ?

Guenter
Sorry, I just wanted to confirm whether my understanding is correct or 
not before implementing it actually.
Or, shall I add this attribute as a part of fan attributes with 
"hwmon_fan_rpm" ? or any other way to do it ? I need your inputs in 
fixing this.
I think he wants the attribute to be named according to the properties 
in this document: 
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface. I guess 
the attribute would then map to fan1_input, though I'm not sure if 
that's 100% correct either since this could technically be attached to 
something other than a fan. But I would think in practice that's not a 
big concern.

Guenter,
Please correct me as well if I'm wrong.

Thank you,
Mikko
