Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The tachometer IRQ handler blindly clears a hardcoded bit instead of verifying the interrupt status, potentially causing an IRQ storm.

hwmon: add Axiado AX3000 and AX3005 PWM fan controller driver

This commit adds support for the PWM fan controller on Axiado AX3000 and
AX3005 SoCs. The driver uses a hardware tachometer block and interrupt to
measure fan speed, while controlling the fan via an external PWM signal.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this risk an IRQ storm if the hardware sets any bit other than
AX_TACH_INT_PENDING?

If a different bit in AX_TACH_INT_STATUS_REG triggers the interrupt, this
handler will see a non-zero status, proceed to update the count, and then
blindly clear only AX_TACH_INT_PENDING (BIT(0)). The other bit would remain
set, and the interrupt line would remain asserted.

Should this check if AX_TACH_INT_PENDING is actually set in the status, and
clear the specific status bits that were read rather than hardcoding the
cleared bit?
