I now switch using pwm-fan with the local changes I am able to link
pwm_ao_d_10_pins
but now the issue is fan keeps on spinning on boot-up and stays on.

I can manually turn on off by using
$ sudo gpioset gpiochip1 10=1   // fan on
$ sudo gpioset gpiochip1 10=0   // fan off

It is not controlled by the thermal tip as expected.
I feel some configuration is missing in pwm-meson driver.
Any input for me?

I could observe a change in duty when we have stress testing the CPU.
