    hwmon: (aspeed-pwm-tacho) reduce fan_tach period · ece0c03a
    Patrick Venture authored
    Reduce the fan_tach period such that the fan controller uses a shorter
    period to measure the rpm.
    
    The original period of 0x1000 was chosen as a conversative value from the
    reference implementation.  Through experimentation on the quanta-q71l
    board, I was able to drive the number down which ultimately reduced the
    time the controller would use to determine the fan_tach.  This value was
    recently tested and accepted downstream on the IBM Zaius board which uses
    the ast2500.
    
    Future work: It may be worthwhile as this is a tunable parameter to the
    system, to allow overriding it through the device tree.
    
    Testing: Tested on an ast2400 sitting on a quanta-q71l and ast2500 on
    power9.
