Hi Krzysztof,

Using the Aspeed SoC as an example, our SoC features 16 PWMs and 16 tachometer channels that can be employed to control and monitor fans.
The "tach-ch" parameter is utilized to specify which tachometer channel is being used to monitor a specific fan.
The "pwms" parameter is utilized to specify which pwm channel is being used to control a specific fan.

Thanks
Best regards,
Billy Tsai
