Nuvoton NPCM7xx PWM and Fan Tacho controller device

The Nuvoton BMC NPCM7XX supports 8 Pulse-width modulation (PWM)
controller outputs and 16 Fan tachometer controller inputs.

Required properties for pwm-fan node
- #address-cells : should be 1.
- #size-cells	: should be 0.
- compatible	: "nuvoton,npcm750-pwm-fan" for Poleg NPCM7XX.
- reg			: specifies physical base address and size of the registers.
- reg-names	: must contain:
					* "pwm" for the PWM registers.
					* "fan" for the Fan registers.
- clocks		: phandle of reference clocks.
- clock-names	: must contain
					* "pwm" for PWM controller operating clock.
					* "fan" for Fan controller operating clock.
- interrupts	: contain the Fan interrupts with flags for falling edge.
- pinctrl-names	: a pinctrl state named "default" must be defined.
- pinctrl-0	: phandle referencing pin configuration of the PWM and Fan
					controller ports.

fan subnode format:
===================
Under fan subnode can be upto 8 child nodes, each child node representing a fan.
Each fan subnode must have one PWM channel and atleast one Fan tach channel.

For PWM channel can be configured cooling-levels to create cooling device.
Cooling device could be bound to a thermal zone for the thermal control.

Required properties for each child node:
- reg : specify the PWM output channel.
	integer value in the range 0 through 7, that represent
	the PWM channel number that used.

- fan-tach-ch : specify the Fan tach input channel.
		integer value in the range 0 through 15, that represent
		the fan tach channel number that used.

		At least one Fan tach input channel is required

Optional property for each child node:
- cooling-levels: PWM duty cycle values in a range from 0 to 255
                  which correspond to thermal cooling states.
