[PATCH 2/2] pwm: Add GPIO PWM driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add a software PWM which toggles a GPIO from a high-resolution timer.

This will naturally not be as accurate or as efficient as a hardware
PWM, but it is useful in some cases.  I have for example used it for
evaluating LED brightness handling (via leds-pwm) on a board where the
LED was just hooked up to a GPIO, and for a simple verification of the
timer frequency on another platform.

Since high-resolution timers are used, sleeping gpio chips are not
supported and are rejected in the probe function.

While preparing this driver for posting, I found a pwm-gpio driver posted to
the lists way back in 2015 by Olliver Schinagl:

 https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pwm/1445895161-2317-8-git-send-email-o.schinagl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

This driver was developed independently, but since both drivers are trivial
they are quite similar.  The main difference I see (apart from the usage of
newer APIs and DT schemas) is that this driver only supports one PWM per
instance, which makes for simpler code.  I also reject sleeping GPIO chips
explicitly while that driver uses gpio_set_value_cansleep() from a hrtimer,
which is a no-no.
