Yeah because PWM "D" is already used by the "pwm_AO_ab" controller, so you can't use it for the FAN.

Here you use the "B" PWM signal, not the D.

The "pwm_AO_ab" controller only controls the PWM "A" & "B signals, not the "D" !

This basically enables the PWM "D" pin function to GPIOAO_10, it doesn't assign it to the "pwm_AO_ab" controller.

So by enabling this pinctrl, it will duplicate the pwm_ao_d_e_pins signal to pwm_ao_d_10_pins, this is why the FAN spins non-stop.
