Add common fan properties bindings to a schema.

Bindings for fan controllers can reference the common schema for the
fan

child nodes:

  patternProperties:
    "^fan@[0-2]":
      type: object
      $ref: fan-common.yaml#

Still, from my second reply to v6:

Plus, with DC control there is no pwm. It would be absolutely wrong
to declare that a fan controller MUST be pwm based.

Ultimately, there are three types of fan controllers:

- PWM control, such as MAX6639
- DC control, such as MAX6620 or MAX6650/6651
- Configurable, such as MAX1669 or pretty much all fan controllers
   included in SuperIO chips

Generic fan control bindings simply _have_ to take this into account.

I responded to v6, so let me paste here as well:

Maybe:

Ah, so it is not a PWM provider by this FAN controller? A bit confusing
description. Instead maybe:
	PWM signal for the fan

and do you expect more than one PWM for one fan?

Sure.

One pwm per fan

then:
  maxItems: 1
