[PATCH] pwm: pca9685: fix pwm/gpio inter-operation

From: Sven Van Asbroeck
Date: Mon Jun 03 2019 - 11:16:22 EST


This driver allows pwms to be requested as gpios via gpiolib.
Obviously, it should not be allowed to request a gpio when its
corresponding pwm is already requested (and vice versa).
So it requires some exclusion code.

Given that the pwm and gpio cores are not synchronized with
respect to each other, this exclusion code will also require
proper synchronization.

Such a mechanism was in place, but was inadvertently removed
by Uwe's clean-up patch.

Upon revisiting the synchronization mechanism, we found that
theoretically, it could allow two threads to successfully
request conflicting pwms / gpios.

Replace with a bitmap which tracks pwm in-use, plus a mutex.
As long as pwm and gpio's respective request/free functions
modify the in-use bitmap while holding the mutex, proper
synchronization will be guaranteed.

This approach will also prevent the request of the "all" pwm channel, if any
other pwm channel is already in use. Is this correct behaviour?
