Yes, the controller will measure values continuously by hardware. I will remove it. 
If the user want to get the fresh value, it should be done by the application layer
(e.g. read two times).

When the user sets the correct fan information (i.e., min_rpm, max_rpm), the read
poll timeout will only occur if the tach pin does not get any signal (i.e. rpm=0).

It will be handled by the regmap_read_poll_timeout.

Thanks
