Off the top of my head I'd expect PWM to be a separate thing which could optionally synthesize stuff onto an IIO device (bitbanging the PWM essentially). The specialized PWM stuff tends to be "output this steady state for an indefinite period" type interface rather than "here's a batch of samples, output them". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
