You refer to the series linked below, right?

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pwm/20200329104549.GX25745@shell.armlinux.org.uk/

(For some reason the LAKM archive is missing two years, including this
time frame)

I now remember that series. I even archived it locally. But then I
forgot about it, so I ended up recreating Armada 8K PWM support from
scratch. Sorry about that.

Any comment on this series?
