Hello Thierry, This series adds support for atomic PWM update, or ITO, the capability to update all the parameters of a PWM device (enabled/disabled, period, duty and polarity) in one go. This implementation is still experimental, and I may have missed some key aspect, so any feedback are welcome. Also note that I haven't protected the state update with any locking. That's because the existing config does not protect against concurrent access to a requested PWM device (see the pwm_config implementation). I guess the PWM framework assume the user will implement the proper locking scheme if it has to concurrently access the device. The 5 first patches prepare the addition of the pwm_state concept, which will be used to allow atomic updates. The following patches introduce the pwm_state struct, initial state retrieval and atomic update concepts. Patches 12 and 13 are showing how one can implement the initial state retrieval and atomic update features in a PWM driver (in this specific case I implemented it in the rockchip driver). The last 2 patches are making use of those changes to improve the pwm-regulator driver (initializing the regulator state based on the initial PWM state).
