Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (aspeed-pwm-tacho) Poll register instead of sleep
Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2017 15:00:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170620220055.6503-1-venture@google.com> (raw)

The controller should provide an answer nearly immediately if the
fan_tach period is short.  I found through testing that the combination
of these factors improved the device driver responsiveness.

Testing: tested on quanta-q71l board with aspeed ast2400.
