The old value allows measuring fan speeds down to about 970 RPM and
gives timeout for anything less than that. It is problematic because it
can also be used as an indicator for fan failure or absence.
Despite having read the relevant section of "ASPEED AST2500/AST2520 A2
Datasheet – V1.7" multiple times I wasn't able to figure out what
exactly "fan tach period" and "fan tach falling point of period" mean
(both are set by the driver from the constant this patch is amending).
Experimentation with a Tioga Pass OCP board (AST2500 BMC) showed that
value of 0x0108 gives time outs for speeds below 1500 RPM and the value
offered by the patch is good for at least 750 RPM (the fans can't spin
any slower so the lower bound is unknown). Measuring with the fans
spinning takes about 30 ms, sometimes down to 18 ms, so about the same
as with the previous value.
This constant was last changed with commit 762b1e8880 ("hwmon:
(aspeed-pwm-tacho) increase fan tach period")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
