Re: [RFC PATCH 00/15] pwm: add support for atomic update

Hi Thierry,

I'd like to send a new version of this series fixing the problems
reported by Heiko, but I remember you were not happy with the naming
convention I have chosen for the atomic update function.
Could you have a quick look at this series (I'm not asking for a
detailed review) and let me know which things you'd like me to rename.

Best Regards,

Boris
