mediatek: fix pwn fan settings for sinovoip bpi-r3 (v3)

Popular cheap PWM fans for this machine, like the ones coming in
heatsink+fan combos will not work properly at the currently defined
medium speed. Trying different pwm setting using a command

  echo $value > /sys/devices/platform/pwm-fan/hwmon/hwmon1/pwm1

I found:

  pwm1 value     fan rotation speed   cpu temperature     notes
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
    0            maximal              31.5 Celsius        too noisy
   40            optimal              35.2 Celsius        no noise hearable
   95            minimal
   above 95      does not rotate      55.5 Celsius
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

Current cooling levels are:

	cooling-levels = <255 96 0>;

Thus only cpu-active-high and cpu-active-low modes are usable.
This patch fixes cpu-active-medium settings for bpi-r3 board.

This patch may not be enough. Users may wants to tweak their thermal_zone0
trip points, thus tuning fan rotation speed depending on cpu temperature.
That can be done on the base of the following example:

  === example =========
  # cpu temperature below 25 Celsius degrees, no rotation
  echo 25000 > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_4_temp
  # cpu temperature in [25..32] Celsius degrees, normal rotation speed
  echo 32000 > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_3_temp
  # cpu temperature above 50 Celsius degrees, max rotation speed
  echo 50000 > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_2_temp
  =====================

Changes v2:
* put patch to a proper directory
* updated patch description
* tested with latest openwrt based on linux-6.6

Changes v3:
* use upstream linux patch
* update patch description

+Subject: [PATCH] arm64: dts: mediatek: mt7986-bpi-r3: Change fan PWM value for
+ mid speed
+
+Popular cheap PWM fans for this machine, like the ones coming in
+heatsink+fan combos will not work properly at the currently defined
+medium speed. Trying different pwm setting using a command
+
+  echo $value > /sys/devices/platform/pwm-fan/hwmon/hwmon1/pwm1

+Thus only cpu-active-high and cpu-active-low modes are usable.
+I think this is wrong.
+
+This patch fixes cpu-active-medium settings for bpi-r3 board.
+
+I know, the patch is not ideal as it can break pwm fan for some users.
+Likely this is the only official mt7986-bpi-r3 heatsink+fan solution
+available on the market.
+
+This patch may not be enough. Users may wants to tweak their thermal_zone0
+trip points, thus tuning fan rotation speed depending on cpu temperature.
