Sorry Joel, I asked for this to be merged without full understanding.  We are already
testing with a driver that supports a single feedback entry.  So I’m now confused as
to what you would be merging that we don’t already have in the interim before its
reworked to include the extra bytes?

Is it a case of its in our 4.7 branch but not in the 4.10 branch?  In that case please
do merge to 4.10, as we don’t want to go backwards so we can continue to test with what
we have so far.

> It would be best to have both tach feedbacks for this. Whatever the current driver interface that hwmon is using provides enough functionality for reading a single rotor's feedback along with being able to set a target speed to the fans currently. Because of this, I'd prefer that we focus on getting the dual tach feedback added and merge the complete driver then.
