We have both of them in place as per requirement for the chip as far
as I understand the datasheet. The circuit would not work properly
without it.

We have it both on fan1 and fan4.
If I use our scope for checking the tachometer, I see level zero on
the scope, but 1 when checking the open collector level, since that is
the purpose of the pull-up resistor.
I am currently clueless. Fwiw, I am now using linux kernel 3.2.1 for
the moment. I cannot see any bugfixes in the log with regards to that,
though. I am still not sure what is going on, so I cannot claim that
it is a bug, nor can I exclude it. Any help would be appreciated.
