Should probably be pwm-polarity.

Is there a fan in the world with pulses-per-revolution == 3 ?
Valid values should probably be 1, 2, 4.

The above need to be per channel in devicetree data.

On higher level, max6639_platform_data should be removed entirely.
It isn't used by any in-kernel driver, and all its parameters are
per device and not per channel as they should be.
