I'm quite confused. While I admit that the term "tachometer speed" is
awkward, the max6650 driver is reporting fan speeds in RPM as every
other hwmon driver. So I really have no idea what you think is wrong.
What did you think "tachometer speed" was, if not the fan speed? Does
the max6650 driver not return correct fan speeds for you?
