Sorry for the delay.
Yes I defined levels 30-100 in the DT as the MCU register description
stated that:
`Note: the parameter value of fan normally open is 0x1E~0x64`

I didn't find any issue with the stress test, but I will address your
concern with a smaller list.

MFD seems a good candidate as this patch depends on it.
