There seams to be board designs using PWM generators as enable/disable signals.
For these boards we used to have custom code as hacks to deal with such a
situations.
With the gpio-pwm driver we can emulate the GPIO functionality using PWM
generators via standard interfaces. The PWM will be configured to be off
when the GPIO is off and to full duty cycle when the GPIO is requested to be
on.

Hi Linus,
So this is the driver I came up regarding to the issue that some boards
(BeagleBoard for example) are using the PWM generators as enable/disable signal.
On BeagleBoard the situation is like this:
TWL4030 PWMA -> TWL4030 LEDA -> nUSBHOST_PWR_EN -> external power switch -> USB
host hub power.
So I have tested this driver on BeagleBoard:
- Custom code to toggle the GPIO just to see if it switches correctly
- Real life usecase:
fixed voltage regulator with GPIO control (the gpio is the gpio-pwm provided).
ehci-omap has been modified to allow deferred probe.
the regulator is used by ehci-omap.
All works fine.
Regards,
Peter
