Changes for v2:
- Rename cooling-pwm-values to cooling-levels
- Remove default-pulse-width property and stick to default hwmon policy
Changes for v3:
- Changing commit title from "hwmon: dts: Doc:" to "Documentation: dts"
- Remove unnecessary properties
- Set maximal cooling level to 230 instead of 255

Required properties:
- compatible : "pwm-fan"
- pwms : the PWM that is used to control the PWM fan
+- cooling-levels : PWM duty cycle values in a range from 0 to 255

+Thorough description of the following bindings:
+ cooling-min-state = <0>;
+ cooling-max-state = <3>;
+ #cooling-cells = <2>;
