Re: [PATCH 5/6] haptic: Samsung SoCs PWM controlled haptic support

Hi,

I agree use the generic PWM framework. But it's not support on Samsung SoCs yet.

I also wrote the OMAP driver. Of course it uses the OMAP specific PWM drivers.

I think after full integration of PWM frameworks as GPIO does, It will
be replace with new PWM frameworks.

Thank you,
Kyungmin Park
