[PATCH v3 2/3] pwm: lpss: Make builtin so that i915 can find the pwm_backlight

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The primary consumer of the lpss pwm is the i915 kms driver,
the i915 driver does not support get_pwm returning -EPROBE_DEFER and
its init is very complex making this is almost impossible to fix.

This commit changes the PWM_LPSS Kconfig from a tristate to a bool, so
that when the i915 driver loads the lpss pwm will be available avoiding
the -EPROBE_DEFER issue. Note that this is identical to how the same
problem was solved for the pwm-crc driver, which is used by the i915
driver on other platforms.

Changes in v2:
-Drop the pwm_add_table call (this has been moved to the acpi_lpss driver)
