This adds RPM support to the pwm-fan driver in order to use with
fancontrol/pwmconfig. This feature is intended for fans with a tachometer
output signal, which generate a defined number of pulses per revolution.

Thanks for the CC - this is something I was planning to play with now that I have my fan set up, so it's nice to find it already done :)

My board has a 3-wire fan connector driven by an unfiltered PWM output, so unfortunately what I end up measuring is actually the PWM frequency modulated by the rotation pulse frequency. I hacked up some crude low-pass filtering which subsequently got lost in a git reset incident, but I could recreate it if you think it's an idea worth considering (from a bit of research it does seem that 2 or 3-wire fans aren't really meant to be PWMed that way).

I agree with Guenter that this seems a bit misplaced - since the raw count itself is unlikely to overflow in practice, it certainly feels more sensible to handle calculation overflow in the calculation itself...

...for which maybe mult_frac() could help here, although it might be easier just to do the intermediate calculations in u64 and arrange them to rule out non-constant division.
