Hello, this is v6 of the series introducing better lifetime tracking for pwmchips that addresses (for now theoretic) lifetime issues of pwm chips. Addressing these is a necessary precondition to introduce chardev support for PWMs. Locking got more complicated due to non-sleeping chips, so I dropped the character device patch because it got still more incomplete now. Also I'm not yet entirely sure about patches #162 and #163 and I expect them to change before they can go in. My plan for the next merge window is to get the patches in up to #160. After that the addition of chardev support (including correct locking) can continue without having to touch the lowlevel driver. So the idea of this series is to get the driver adaptions out of the way as this requires some cross-tree coordination. The patches that touch files outside of drivers/pwm include: - gpio: mvebu: Make use of devm_pwmchip_alloc() function It already has an Ack by Linus Walleij. - drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Make use of pwmchip_parent() accessor - drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Make use of devm_pwmchip_alloc() function The 2nd already has an Ack by Douglas Anderson which I tend to assume good enough to merge this via my pwm tree, too. An Ack for the first patch would be nice. - leds: qcom-lpg: Make use of devm_pwmchip_alloc() function Already has an Ack by Lee Jones. - staging: greybus: pwm: Change prototype of helpers to prepare further changes - staging: greybus: pwm: Make use of pwmchip_parent() accessor - staging: greybus: pwm: Rely on pwm framework to pass a valid hwpwm - staging: greybus: pwm: Drop unused gb_connection_set_data() - staging: greybus: pwm: Rework how the number of PWM lines is determined - staging: greybus: pwm: Make use of devm_pwmchip_alloc() function The greybus patches already got an Ack by Greg Kroah-Hartman in an earlier series, but I dropped it as the patches changed considerably. For the patches that already have an Ack by the respective maintainers I'll assume this is good enough to merge the patches via the pwm tree. Please object if you don't agree. For the others an Ack with that semantic would be nice. If you want to merge via your tree, that would need some coordination. The adaptions depend on patches #1 - #3, so this would involve an immutable branch or waiting until these patches reached your tree via the mainline tree. The series rebases fine on today's next, so at least for now there are no conflicts that git cannot resolve automatically. The biggest changes compared to v5 are: - Make pwmchip_parent's parameter const - Use pwmchip_parent also in drivers/pwm/sysfs.c and drivers/pwm/core.c - Several bug fixes in the conversions I found during the rework - Provide a non-devm pwmchip_alloc() function earlier (for the greybus pwm driver) - Increase alignment of driver private data to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN bytes - Split several patches to make the easier reviewable The series is available via git at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ukleinek/linux.git pwm-lifetime-tracking if you want to give it a test. I'll keep this branch updated for the feedback I get here.
