Is a fan a hardware monitoring device? Maybe this should not be called a
fan?

I think target depends on conditions, e.g. it is rarely one target.

Use common units, so -hz

However I wonder if frequency is appropriate here - I thought PWMs are
rather configured via duty cycles.

Rather: Inversed PWM polarity for the fan.

Ref is not needed, core brings it.
