Please explain the limit. With this code, the maximum number
for pulses is INT_MAX / 2. The calculation below multiplies
that with 60, which is well above UINT_MAX. Either use a
realistic limit or drop the if statement (it is kind of
unlikely to get that many interrupts per second).

This assumes a self resetting edge triggered interrupt ?
You might want to mention that somewhere.

This is racy; the substract operation is not atomic, and neither
is the addition in the interrupt handler.

The calculation assumes that sample_timer is called exactly after one
second. Have to tested how much variation this causes on a loaded system ?

This attribute is visible even if not supported, meaning it will
report a fan speed of 0 rpm in that case. Please make the attribute
conditional.
