[PATCH v3 4/7] pwm: ntxec: Add driver for PWM function in Netronix EC

Thu Sep 24 15:24:52 EDT 2020


The Netronix EC provides a PWM output which is used for the backlight
on some ebook readers. This patches adds a driver for the PWM output.

The .get_state callback is not implemented, because the PWM state can't
be read back from the hardware.

v3:
- Relicense as GPLv2 or later
- Add email address to copyright line
- Remove OF compatible string and don't include linux/of_device.h
- Fix bogus ?: in return line
- Don't use a comma after sentinels
- Avoid ret |= ... pattern
- Move 8-bit register conversion to ntxec.h

v2:
- https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200905133230.1014581-6-j.neuschaefer@gmx.net/
- Various grammar and style improvements, as suggested by Uwe Kleine-König,
  Lee Jones, and Alexandre Belloni
- Switch to regmap
- Prefix registers with NTXEC_REG_
- Add help text to the Kconfig option
- Use the .apply callback instead of the old API
- Add a #define for the time base (125ns)
- Don't change device state in .probe; this avoids multiple problems
- Rework division and overflow check logic to perform divisions in 32 bits
- Avoid setting duty cycle to zero, to work around a hardware quirk
