There's nothing you can do, the atk0110 driver is a read-only driver,
it gets its values from the ACPI BIOS but can't change them.

If you don't want to see the 0 RPM readings, you can add ignore
statements for them:

chip "atk0110-acpi-0"

   ignore fan3
   ignore fan4

(Verify the fan input numbers with sensors -u.)
