[PATCH V3 0/2] pwm: Add GPIO PWM driver

[Stefan Wahren <wahrenst@xxxxxxx>]

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

Recent discussions in the Raspberry Pi community revealt that a lot
of users still use MMIO userspace tools for GPIO access. One argument
for this approach is the lack of a GPIO PWM kernel driver. So this
series tries to fill this gap.

This continues the work of Vincent Whitchurch [1], which is easier
to read and more consequent by rejecting sleeping GPIOs than Nicola's
approach [2].

The work has been tested on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and a cheap logic
analyzer.

V3:
 - rebase on top of v6.8-pwm-next
 - cherry-pick improvements from Nicola's series
 - try to address Uwe's, Linus' and Andy's comments
 - try to avoid GPIO glitches during probe
 - fix pwm_gpio_remove()
 - some code clean up's and comments

V2:
 - Rename gpio to gpios in binding
 - Calculate next expiry from expected current expiry rather than "now"
 - Only change configuration after current period ends
 - Implement get_state()
 - Add error message for probe failures
 - Stop PWM before unregister
