Our PWM is not only for fans but also used for the motor, led, buzzer, and so on.
So I want to split the function into two devices with a multi-function device.
One for PWM output and one for tach monitor.

I didn't see the PWM+tach bindings can you give some example for me, thanks.

Our pwm and tach is used the same base address and the offset is like below:
PWM0 used 0x0 0x4, Tach0 used 0x8 0xc
PWM1 used 0x10 0x14, Tach1 used 0x18 0x1c
...
I will remove the reg property from pwm and tach node and remove the "#address-cells" and
"#size-cells" from the parent node.

However, In our usage, the parent node is a mfd, not a simple PWM device only. I don't want to
combine the different functions with the one device node.
