[PATCH] arm64: dts: mediatek: mt7986: fix pwn fan settings for sinovoip bpi-r3 board

[Mikhail Kshevetskiy]

Popular bpi-r3 pwm fans like this one

  https://www.amazon.com/youyeetoo-Barebone-Fan-BPI-R3-Integrated/dp/B0CCCTY8PS

will not work properly. Trying different pwm setting using a command

  echo $value > /sys/devices/platform/pwm-fan/hwmon/hwmon1/pwm1

I found:

  pwm1 value     fan rotation speed   cpu temperature     notes
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
    0            maximal              31.5 Celsius        too noisy
   40            optimal              35.2 Celsius        no noise hearable
   95            minimal
   above 95      does not rotate      55.5 Celsius
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

At the moment we have following cooling levels defined:

  cooling-levels = <255 96 0>;

for cpu-active-low, cpu-active-medium and cpu-active-high modes
correspondingly. Thus only cpu-active-high and cpu-active-low are usable.
I think this is wrong.

This patch fixes cpu-active-medium settings for bpi-r3 board.

PS: I know, the patch is not ideal as it can break pwm fan for some users.
    There are some peoples that use handmade cooling solutions, but:
      * discussed cooler is the only 'official' pwm cooler for bpi-r3
        available on the market.
      * most peoples will use passive cooling available on the market or
        the discussed cooler.
      * the pwm-fan dts section was added before the official cooler
        appears on the market.
    Thus it should not be a lot of harm from this fix.

This patch may not be enough. Users may wants to tweak their thermal_zone0
trip points, thus tuning fan rotation speed depending on cpu temperature.
That can be done on the base of the folloving example:

  === example =========
  # cpu temterature below 25 Celsius degrees, no rotation
  echo 25000 > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_4_temp
  # cpu temperature in [25..32] Celsius degrees, normal rotation speed
  echo 32000 > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_3_temp
  # cpu temperature above 50 Celsius degrees, max rotation speed
  echo 50000 > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_2_temp
  =====================
