I'd put device_link_add() into of_pwm_get(). Hi Uwe, I also agree with this. But I think this implies modifying the API for of_pwm_get(): /** * of_pwm_get() - request a PWM via the PWM framework + * @dev: device for PWM consumer * @np: device node to get the PWM from * @con_id: consumer name It seems there aren't much of_pwm_get() users currently. Does this look sensible ? Best regards, Fabrice > > Best regards > Uwe >
