Note that this is actually an internal clock divisor, which
affects the measurable speed range, not the read value.
+fan[1-*]_pulses Number of tachometer pulses per fan revolution.
+ Integer value, typically between 1 and 4.
+ RW
+ This value is a characteristic of the fan connected to the
+ device's input, so it has to be set in accordance with the fan
+ model.
+ Should only be created if the chip has a register to configure
+ the number of pulses. In the absence of such a register (and
+ thus attribute) the value assumed by all devices is 2 pulses
