Dear Bhuvanchandra, Thank you for your effort to send those patches to ML. > Changes since v2: > > - Picked the stalled patchset[1] from Lothar Wassmann which adds the > basic support for polarity control on imx-pwm driver and adds > backward compatibility support for devices which does not have > polarity control feature. > > Changes since Lothars v6: > > - Squash Lukasz patch[2]. > > [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.pwm/1621 > [2] https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg530818.html > > Bhuvanchandra DV (3): > arm: dts: imx7: Update #pwm-cells for PWM polarity control > arm: dts: imx7-colibri: Use pwm polarity control > arm: dts: imx7-colibri: Use enable-gpios for BL_ON > > Lothar Wassmann (3): > pwm: print error messages with pr_err() instead of pr_debug() > pwm: core: make the PWM_POLARITY flag in DTB optional > pwm: imx: support output polarity inversion For some reason this patchset works differently than the one developed by Lothar. The difference is with the brightness level control. My brightness definition in DTS: pwms = <&pwm2 0 5000000 PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED>; brightness-levels = < 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 .. ............ 250 251 252 253 254 255>; default-brightness-level = <50>; enable-gpios = <&gpio1 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; When I go to the backlight sysfs entry: cd /sys/devices/soc0/backlight/backlight/backlight It seems like the brightness level control is inverted - i.e. 'echo 20 > brightness" makes picture on the screen very bright, and 'echo 200 > brightness' makes the picture diminish. With my "internal" patches the situation is opposite (and I've checked it with my HW connections). Could you check on your setup if similar situation takes place? I mean if the brightness control works as expected?
