[PATCH v2 3/3] pwm: argon-fan-hat: Add Argon40 Fan HAT support

[Marek Vasut]

Add trivial PWM driver for Argon40 Fan HAT, which is a RaspberryPi
blower fan hat which can be controlled over I2C. Model this device
as a PWM, so the pwm-fan can be attached to it and handle thermal
zones and RPM management in a generic manner.

Did you get that right? I would have expected a fixed period and the
parameter modifying the duty cycle?

How extraordinary, so the relative duty cycle is always 10%? In the
binding patch you claimed duty cycle was constant?

Please enable PWM_DEBUG while testing.

This is argon_fan_hat_write_waveform(..., _wfhw=100). Looks like an
opportunity to consolidate these functions.

I actually found a fixed 30 kHz period PWM at the underside of the 
device, it wasn't easy to reach. Expect a V3.

I actually found a fixed 30 kHz period PWM at the underside of the 
device, with configurable duty cycle, so this will be fixed in V3.

The rest should be fixed in V3, thanks.
