Hi All,

The following implements a generic pwm framework and adds a user
for it. I already posted this series back in January. Based on
the comments I received I added some details about the motivation
for adding such a framework and not using the led or hwmon framework
to patch 1/2.
I also added some documentation to Documentation/pwm.txt.

This patch does not change the user API for PWMs, in particular
it does not enforce any sleep/nonsleep context to the PWM users.
The patch merely puts the status quo into a core wrapper to be able
to register multiple PWM drivers in the system. Improvements to
the API can still be made later once we have at least a place
in the kernel to collect the existing PWM drivers.

Hi,

just some nitpicks...

Shouldn't CLKGATE be set again in the remove() function?

Just a small question: on PXA (just for example) PWMs are registered
from arch/arm via arch_initcall. Will your subsystem work for such early
registration (of course after moving PXA driver to drivers/pwm)?

Hi Sascha,

This looks very nice.
I have only trivial comments, except for the suggestion to use idr.

How about using idr? It provides you a fast lookup and handles giving
out unique numbers.

I think the "owner" field should be in the pwm_ops, not in the pwm_chip,
because the pwm_ops is likely to be statically allocated, while the
pwm_chip is probably runtime allocated and cannot be preinitialized.

Should a pwm_chip contain a "struct device" so you can refer to it in
sysfs and add attributes?

The driver looks pretty good overall, but the global pwm_base_common register
is rather ugly. I think this should really be passed down through resources
from  the platform device in one way or another.

Sounds like a good idea, but is idr compatible with the pwmchip_reserve
function below? idr gives no guarantee that the first id is zero, but I
need exactly this to make the ids for the internal PWMs known at compile
time.

(In the longer term it probably makes sense to implement a
pwm_get(struct device *, const char *id) similar to the clk api, I just
wanted to stay compatible to the current PWM API for now)

You can certainly use ida_get_new_above to guarantee that implicit
number allocation doesn't interfere with the reserved numbers. Whether
that guarantees that you get the reserved numbers when you ask for them,
I don't know.

A possible way to deal with that would be to allocate an array of pointers
for the reserved space but use IDR for the rest, but at that point the
complexity is probably higher than what you have now ;-)

Another question is whether the dynamic allocation even makes sense. How
does a driver that wants to use a PWM find out what number to ask for
when it's not reserved for the platform to start with. Maybe the
answer is to just use an array or tree for the lookup and refuse to
register multiple PWMs to the same number.

I tend to remove the dynamic allocation support for now. Currently we
have two types of pwm drivers in the tree. The SoC internal PWMs can
cope with a fixed id so that platforms can pass the id to the pwm
function driver (backlight, led).
The other type is some mfd drivers which implement the pwm API themselves
right now. These are currently incompatible with the pwm framework anyway.
If a board wants to connect the mfd pwm to its backlight, the current
pwm_request based on an integer id is not suitable anymore. We need
a (struct device *dev, char *id) based pwm_request function then.
So my plan is to change the pwm API once we have all in tree drivers
in drivers/pwm.

Ok, sounds good. I don't much like the idea of using a string identifier
for this, but let's discuss that when we get there. Using fixed numbers
for the first version seems totally reasonable, as it keeps the existing
API.
