[PATCH v3 2/2] pwm: add Axiado AX3000 PWM driver

Petar Stepanovic pstepanovic at axiado.com
Tue Aug 11 02:01:51 PDT 2026


The Axiado AX3000 and AX3005 SoCs include PWM controllers that can be
used to generate configurable PWM output signals.

Add a PWM driver with support for configuring period, duty cycle, and
enable state through the Linux PWM framework.
