I seem to recall that I had seen that as well, with no fan connected.
Maybe the tachometer registers always read at least '1'. I would think
it is wrong, but we'll have to understand the chip a bit better
to be able to provide a fix. Unless you already have a fix ready,
of course. I'll try to re-test tonight if I find the time.
