The linux kernel already have the similar binding:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/pwm-fan.txt 
Therefore, I want to reuse it and the pwm-fan.c instead of creating another similar fan binding and driver.
I am referring to the following files:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/kontron%2Csl28cpld.yaml 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pwm/kontron%2Csl28cpld-pwm.yaml 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/kontron%2Csl28cpld-hwmon.yaml 
It will also reuse the pwm-fan instead creating it own pwm-fan binding for their hwmon(tach).
