All legacy PWM providers have now been moved to the PWM subsystem. The
plan for 3.8 is to adapt all board files to provide a lookup table for
PWM devices in order to get rid of the global namespace. Subsequently,
users of the legacy pwm_request() and pwm_free() functions can be
migrated to the new pwm_get() and pwm_put() functions. Once this has
been completed, the legacy API and the compatibility code in the core
can be removed.
In addition to the above, these changes also add support for configuring
the polarity of a PWM signal (currently only supported on ECAP and
EHRPWM) and include a much needed rework of the i.MX driver. Managed
functions to obtain and release a PWM device (devm_pwm_get() and
devm_pwm_put()) have been added and the pwm-backlight driver has been
updated to use them. If the PWM subsystem hasn't been enabled, dummy
functions are provided that allow the subsystem to safely compile out.
Some common checks on input parameters have been moved to the core and
removed from the drivers. Finally, a small fix corrects the description
of the PWM specifier's second cell in the device tree representation.

Enhanced high resolution PWM module (EHRPWM) hardware can be used to
generate PWM output over 2 channels. This commit adds PWM driver support
for EHRPWM device present on AM33XX SOC. Current implementation supports

ECAP hardware on AM33XX SOC supports auxiliary PWM (APWM) feature. This
commit adds PWM driver support for ECAP hardware on AM33XX SOC.
In the ECAP hardware, each PWM pin can also be configured to be in
capture mode. Current implementation only supports PWM mode of
operation. Also, hardware supports sync between multiple PWM pins but
the driver supports simple independent PWM functionality.

This commit adds a generic PWM framework driver for the PWFM controller
found on NVIDIA Tegra SoCs. The driver is based on code from the
Chromium kernel tree and was originally written by Gary King (NVIDIA)
and later modified by Simon Que (Chromium).

This patch adds framework support for PWM (pulse width modulation) devices.
The is a barebone PWM API already in the kernel under include/linux/pwm.h,
but it does not allow for multiple drivers as each of them implements the
pwm_*() functions.
There are other PWM framework patches around from Bill Gatliff. Unlike
his framework this one does not change the existing API for PWMs so that
this framework can act as a drop in replacement for the existing API.
Why another framework?
Several people argue that there should not be another framework for PWMs
but they should be integrated into one of the existing frameworks like led
or hwmon. Unlike these frameworks the PWM framework is agnostic to the
purpose of the PWM. In fact, a PWM can drive a LED, but this makes the
LED framework a user of a PWM, like already done in leds-pwm.c. The gpio
framework also is not suitable for PWMs. Every gpio could be turned into
a PWM using timer based toggling, but on the other hand not every PWM hardware
device can be turned into a gpio due to the lack of hardware capabilities.
This patch does not try to improve the PWM API yet, this could be done in
subsequent patches.
