I don't think it is. The node should just begin with "fan" I think.

I've added the -0 because from everything I've seen of the qnap software-
side, the mcu firmware can address multiple fans.

In the original firmware, everything is done in userspace wrt. the MCU,
and the fan commands in their abstraction layer allow for multiple fans.

Also there is that suspicious "0" in the command sequence when
getting/setting the fan pwm. And in the original device config this is
labeled as the first fan.

>From everything I've seen, the MCU is not limited to the Rockchip-line
of devices and I do hope others will find this useful in the future,
so adding the "-0" was a better safe than sorry choice.

Because that way adding that theoretical 2nd fan in the future won't
cause too much trouble in the dt-binding.

I remember thinking about that, but didn't come to a real decision on my
own, hence left it as it was. So will follow your suggestion :-)

will do

ok will do.

I was probably way overthinking if I should not use dev_err_probe in a
function that is not a probe function (though of course part of the probe
process).


Thanks a lot for looking over the code once again
