Hi,

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/12/186

Will the patch ever included to linux-next?
I've never seen this patch before. From a quick look it doesn't seem
like it would work as is, but the idea is certainly interesting. If
somebody decides to continue work on it, please Cc me and the linux-pwm
mailing list.
I just merged a gpio-controlled clock gate and I'm fine with a PWM clock
output.

Janusz, how are you testing the clock driver?

Sorry, I didn't noticed the email.
I didn't test the patch yet. However I plan to check it this year.

best regards
Janusz

pwm_config() API could be extended to support
not only period [ns] and duty [ns] time
but also frequency [Hz] and duty cycle fraction [1/1000?]
(instead of time in ns) as parameters.
Then ns (rounded by pwm) to freq. conversion problem
inclk_pwm_recalc_rate() usingpwm_get_period()
could be avoided.
To extend the API pwm_config() can support
new flags forduty_ns and period_ns,
eg. PWM_DUTY_PERCENT and PWM_PERIOD_HZ.
Is that rounding really a problem? Also the PWM chips will most likely
use the concept of period and duty-cycle internally anyway, so it will
convert back from Hz/percentage to nanoseconds and fall victim to
similar rounding effects.
