That's what I initially tried but ended up dropping it in favour of RPM
formula below, which I found to be doing a better job of explaining than
a few lines of description.

Considering a fan continuously running at higher speeds (for example 4000 RPM
which is quite optimistic), with the scale of 2 pulses per rotation, a 32 bit
register will take around a year to overflow, which is more than most usecases
I could think of.
