[PATCH v2 00/10] Add PWM framework and device-tree support.

[Thierry Reding]

This patch series adds very rudimentary device-tree support for PWM devices.
I fully realize that this is early work and it should not be merged as is.
However I wanted to post these patches for review to make sure I'm not on a
wild-goose chase.

With all of these patches applied (plus one board-specific patch that is not
included), I'm able to control the backlight on the device I'm working on
using the sysfs interface provided by the pwm-backlight driver and the
backlight class.

This series is based on Sascha Hauer's series of patches[0] to add a generic
PWM framework. The first patch in this series is taken from Sascha's branch,
while the second patch enables each PWM chip to provide multiple PWM devices
(none of the drivers in Sascha's branch are converted yet). When this series
is ready I think it would be best to merge patches 1 and 2.

Patch 3 adds some code to lookup a PWM chip given its device-tree handle. This
code will be used later on by the pwm-backlight driver to find the PWM device
that it should be using. Device tree binding documentation is also provided.

Patch 4 was taken from the Chromium tree and is required to provide proper
clocking of the Tegra2 PWFM controller. All Chromium-specific tags have been
removed from the commit message.

Patch 5 cleans up the clock registration for Tegra2 because patch 6 will only
instantiate one device for the PWFM controller instead of four.

Patch 6 adds a generic PWM framework driver for the Tegra2 PWFM controller.
The code is taken from the Chromium tree with some adjustments to integrate it
with the PWM framework.

Patch 7 implements device tree based probing for the Tegra2 PWFM controller.

Patches 8 and 9 are ports of the Blackfin PWM and the PXA PWM drivers to the
PWM framework. These are only compile-tested as I do not have any hardware to
test them on. They are meant as test-bed for the framework. I intend to port
other drivers over to the framework for the next spin.

Patch 10 implements DT-based probing in the pwm-backlight driver. Note that
this code only handles the "pwm" property (by looking up the PWM device via
the new PWM DT binding) and the "default-" and "max-brightness" properties.
Switching power to the backlight via GPIOs is not supported yet.

The whole series is based on the linux-next tree from 20120202. I think I've
addressed all of the concerns raised in the first version, and those I
haven't yet were still open for discussion (or I've explicitly marked them as
TODO).
