The following patches adds support for PWM based Tegra Tachometer driver
which implements PWM capture interface to analyze the PWM signal of a
electronic fan and reports it in periods and duty cycles.

Added fan device attribute fan1_input in pwm-fan driver to monitor the
speed of fan in rotations per minute using PWM interface.
RPM of Fan will be exposed to user interface through HWMON sysfs interface
avialable at location: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/fan1_input

Steps to validate Tachometer on Tegra186 SoC:
A. push modules pwm-tegra.ko, pwm-tegra-tachometer.ko and pwm-fan.ko to
   linux device using scp command.
   scp build/tegra186/drivers/pwm/pwm-tegra.ko ubuntu at 10.19.65.176:/tmp/
   scp build/tegra186/drivers/pwm/pwm-tegra-tachometer.ko ubuntu at 10.19.65.176:/tmp/
   scp build/tegra186/drivers/hwmon/pwm-fan.ko ubuntu at 10.19.65.176:/tmp/
B. On Linux device console, insert these modules using insmod command.
   insmod /tmp/pwm-tegra.ko
   insmod /tmp/pwm-tegra-tachometer.ko
   insmod /tmp/pwm-fan.ko
C. Read RPM value at below sysfs node
   cat /sys/calss/hwmon/hwmon0/fan1_input
D. Change the FAN speed using PWM sysfs interface. Follow below steps for the same:
   a. cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0
   b. ls -la (make sure pwm controller is c340000.pwm)
      Output should be: device -> ../../../c340000.pwm
   c. echo 0 > export
   d. cd pwmchip0:0
   e. echo 8000 > period
   f. echo 1 > enable
   g. echo 8000 > duty_cycle # change duty_cycles from 0 to 8000 for FAN speed variation
   h. cat /sys/calss/hwmon/hwmon0/fan1_input
   i. echo 4000 > duty_cycle
   h. cat /sys/calss/hwmon/hwmon0/fan1_input
   i. echo 2000 > duty_cycle
   h. cat /sys/calss/hwmon/hwmon0/fan1_input
   i. echo 0 > duty_cycle
   h. cat /sys/calss/hwmon/hwmon0/fan1_input
