The problem here will be that at boot the PWM runs at full duty. With the current exynos PWM drive if you disable the PWM it will stop pulsing but remain high if it was at 100% duty. My patch on which you depend upon fixed a race where disabling the pwm right after changing the duty cycle (e.g. to 0%) also kept the signal high. >From looking at other PWM users at the time it seemed that most if not all always first set to duty to 0% and then disable the pwm. Which should work fine on exynos now. However iirc Thierry recently clarified that the expected result of pwm_disable is not just that the modulation stops but also that the output signal goes low, although that's not very explicit in the current pwm documentation.. The exynos PWM driver will need another fix tweak to make that true. > Best Regards, > -- > Markus Reichl > > On 8 April 2015 at 23:19, Anand Moon <linux.amoon@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi Guenter, > > > > Sorry my blunder mistake.
