Problem with above code is that it isn't clear when the 5V vs. the 12V limit is set.
0V results in 5V, 5.5V results in 5V, 5.500001V results in 12V. That looks pretty
arbitrary. On top of that, the datasheet only mentions 5V and 12V fans, and I am
not aware of the others you are talking about. Per datasheet, the bit selects
either 5V or 12V as fan voltage. So we should stick with that.

Yes, please.
