Hi Conor,
Thank you for patiently giving me advice. I appreciate your help.
Not long ago, I said, "This patch needs to be accompanied by
modifications to the pwm_sifive_apply() function to make sense."
I recently reviewed the v3 version, and after discussing it with Emil,
there are several areas that require modification. I will provide the
necessary changes for each of them:
1. polarity check. (Suggestion from Uwe)
- if (state->polarity != PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED)
+ if (state->polarity != PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL)
2. avoid using old periodperiod, not state->period
- period = max(state->period, ddata->approx_period);
- frac = DIV64_U64_ROUND_CLOSEST(num, state->period);
+ frac = DIV64_U64_ROUND_CLOSEST(num, period);
3. add a conditional check can be added in the code to set
ddata->approx_period to state->period when state->period is smaller
than ddata->approx_period
if (state->period != ddata->approx_period) {
...
+ if (state->period < ddata->approx_period) {
+ ddata->approx_period = state->period;
+ }
- ddata->approx_period = state->period;
+ period = ddata->approx_period;
I will use 'unmatched' on my end to verify again. If there are any
other errors, feel free to point them out. Thank you.
