The Fan Tachometer Reading registers contain the number of 11.111µs periods (90KHz) between full
fan revolutions. Fans produce two tachometer pulses per full revolution. These registers are updated
at least once every second.
This value is represented for each fan in a 16 bit, unsigned number.
The Fan Tachometer Reading registers always return an accurate fan tachometer measurement, even
when a fan is disabled or non-functional, including when the start bit=0.
When one byte of a 16-bit register is read, the other byte latches the current value until it is read, in
order to ensure a valid reading. The order is LSB first, MSB second.
