Doesn't this imply that there's another bug at play here? At the PWM API level you're applying a state and it's up to the driver to ensure that the hardware state after ->apply() is what the software has requested. If you only switch the enable state and that doesn't cause period and duty cycle to be updated it means that your driver isn't writing those registers when it should be. > The LPSS PWM controller has a mechanism where the ctrl register value > and the actual base-unit and on-time-div values used are latched.

If this is all already implemented in pwm_lpss_apply(), why isn't it working for the suspend/resume case? It shouldn't matter that the consumer only changes the enable/disable state. After ->apply() successfully returns your hardware should be programmed with exactly the state that the consumer requested. Thierry
