hwmon: Add tachometer pulses per fan revolution to sysfs ABI
Some fan control chips support a configuration register to set the number of tachometer pulses per fan revolution. Add an ABI attribute to support this configuration register. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <guenter.roeck@ericsson.com> Acked-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
