The pwm_rate_of_change and fan_window are now mentioned. According to our testing with Sunon PF36281BX-000U-S99, these values are crucial in how RPM mode works and how long it takes for the RPM to stabilize. For example, setting 5000 RPM (the fan goes up to 23000), the pwm_rate_of_change needed to be changed to the lowest possible value, otherwise the chip would just go from pwm 0 to pwm 60 back and forth and never achieving 5000 RPM (and also signaling fan fault). Based on this testing, we found out that the pwm_rate_of_change and fan_window values need to be changed manually by the user, based on the user's exact fan configuration.
