It's best to convert to the iio subsystem, as that is the way to go in

I'm also preparing a plain PWM driver for the LPC3250 SoC.
Would IIO be an appropriate place?
No. There is a pwm subsystem. I think thee actual drivers tend to go in
the relevant arch directory. So far I think all of the are all arch
specific. We do have some recently added support for direct digital
synthesis (from Analog devices). There's obviously some common
functionality, though the DDS devices tend to be for modulation purposes.
Obviously pwm's have loads of uses, but tend to only need a very simple
interface. I have wondered if we ought to support this as part of the dds
interface, but so far I don't think we have a device anyone would
actually use as simply a pwm.
Anyhow, see include/linux/pwm.h for pwm interface. Examples of
implementations in arch/arm/plat-pxa and a few others in arch arm. Not
that many users yet based on a quick grep.
Anyhow, the code in place looks to have come from Russell King (arm
maintainer). I know Bill Gatliff proposed something similar...

Hope that helps. Will take a look at ADC driver sometime tomorrow with
a bit of luck.
Doh! DAC...
Thanks,

Thanks in advance,
