Hi Chris,

I have a series of devices with GPIO controlled force feedback that

thank you.
Thanks for testing. I didn't had much time recently and i was fighting
with hr timer resolution stuff. But will try to send the next version in
March.
Note that when I set the resolution too low (I got confused and set
the period to 255) my device locked up hard and only a forced
power cycle could bring it back.
Unfortunately this is a general design issue by driving the GPIO by a
kernel driver and "expected" behavior. I didn't have a good solution for
it yet.

What period is too low without limiting other users?

The only idea which comes to my mind is to introduce a kernel parameter
for this driver to set a lower period limit. This can be provided by
some administrator or system designer with enough experience. So a
general user doesn't need to care about it.

Best regards
