I've found a 'fan' node on /pcif2000000/mac-io17/gpio50/fan0 .
It has a 'compatible' property with value 'fan-gpio':

name                    fan
device_type             fan
compatible              fan-gpio
                        fan

built-in
reg                     00000000
platform-GetFanSpeed    ff97a768

It also appears on the Mac OS X I/O registry:

$ ioreg -n fan
[...]
    | |   |   +-o fan0  <class AppleMacIODevice, registered,
matched,
active, busy 0, retain count 6>
    | |   |   |   {
    | |   |   |     "built-in" = <>
    | |   |   |     "platform-GetFanSpeed" =
<ff97a768>
    | |   |   |     "reg" = <00000000>
    | |   |   |     "name" =
<"fan">
    | |   |   |     "compatible" =
<"fan-gpio","fan">
    | |   |   |     "device_type" =
<"fan">
    | |   |   |     "AAPL,phandle" =
<ff97a5f0>
    | |   |   |   }
[...]

It appears like a simple controller. The value
"ff97a768" appears to
be constant and independent of any system load or
temperature...
