Thank Rob,

I checked in the 
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/fan-common.yaml. I found the 
tach-ch property, but it seems define the tach channel used for fan.

   tach-ch:
     description:
       The tach channel used for the fan.
     $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint8-array

I would like to define a new vendor property to configure the PWM-OUT 
pin to become a TACH-IN pin. So I introduce the 
"maxim,pwmout-pin-as-tach-input" property. Please help me share your 
comments!
