We should just move pwmchip_sysfs_unexport() where it belongs, which is right after pwmchip_sysfs_unexport_children(). In that case, we do not need separate functions anymore either. We also really want to remove sysfs irrespective of whether or not the chip will be removed as a result of pwmchip_remove(). We can only assume that the driver will be gone after that, so we shouldn't leave any dangling sysfs files around. This warning disappears if we move pwmchip_sysfs_unexport() to the top of pwmchip_remove(), pwmchip_sysfs_unexport_children(). That way it is also outside of the pwm_lock section, which indeed doesn't seem to be needed. Moving the pwmchip_sysfs_export() call outside of that section also seems fine and it'd be perfectly symmetric with pwmchip_remove() again. So, this patch fixes them.

2012-09-10pwm: Add support for configuring the PWM polarityPhilip, Avinash
Some hardware supports inverting the polarity of the PWM signal. This commit adds support to the PWM framework to allow users of the PWM API to configure the polarity. Note that in order to reduce complexity, changing the polarity of a PWM signal is only allowed while the PWM is disabled. A practical example where this can prove useful is to simulate inversion of the duty cycle. While inversion of polarity and duty cycle are not exactly the same, the differences for most use-cases are negligible.

This works by providing a table with a provider/consumer map in the board setup code.

2012-06-15pwm: Allow chips to support multiple PWMsThierry Reding
Many PWM controllers provide access to more than a single PWM output and may even share some resource among them. Allowing a PWM chip to provide multiple PWM devices enables better sharing of those resources. As a side-effect this change allows easy integration with the device tree where a given PWM can be looked up based on the PWM chip's phandle and a corresponding index. This commit modifies the PWM core to support multiple PWMs per struct pwm_chip. It achieves this in a similar way to how gpiolib works, by allowing PWM ranges to be requested dynamically (pwm_chip.base == -1) or starting at a given offset (pwm_chip.base >= 0). A chip specifies how many PWMs it controls using the npwm member. Each of the functions in the pwm_ops structure gets an additional argument that specified the PWM number (it can be converted to a per-chip index by subtracting the chip's base). The total maximum number of PWM devices is currently fixed to 1024 while the data is actually stored in a radix tree, thus saving resources if not all of them are used.

2012-06-15pwm: Add PWM framework supportSascha Hauer
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.
