Hi Krzysztof,

I checked in the
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/fan-common.yaml. I found the
tach-ch property, but it seems define the tach channel used for fan.

      tach-ch:
      	description:
        		The tach channel used for the fan.
      	$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint8-array


In my purpose, I would like to configure the pwm output pins to become 
tachometer input pins by setting bit[0] in the Configuration Register.


I think a vendor property is suitable for this purpose. It is only 
available on specific MAX31790 fan controllers and not on other fan 
controller devices. So I think we can't use the "tach-ch" in 
fan-common.yaml.

I discussed it in the thread
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ce8b2b49-b194-42f7-8f83-fcbf7b460970@amperemail.onmicrosoft.com/ 
, but I have not yet received Rob's response.

Please share your comment with me. I hope that will help us make a final 
decision.

Thank Krzysztof very much!
