This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled pwm: lpss: Add range limit check for the base_unit register value to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: pwm-lpss-add-range-limit-check-for-the-base_unit-reg.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 59b34eac5b50006e0bb7bef5bdc4f9fe1e430962 Author: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 3 13:23:24 2020 +0200 pwm: lpss: Add range limit check for the base_unit register value [ Upstream commit ef9f60daab309558c8bb3e086a9a11ee40bd6061 ] When the user requests a high enough period ns value, then the calculations in pwm_lpss_prepare() might result in a base_unit value of 0. But according to the data-sheet the way the PWM controller works is that each input clock-cycle the base_unit gets added to a N bit counter and that counter overflowing determines the PWM output frequency. Adding 0 to the counter is a no-op. The data-sheet even explicitly states that writing 0 to the base_unit bits will result in the PWM outputting a continuous 0 signal. When the user requestes a low enough period ns value, then the calculations in pwm_lpss_prepare() might result in a base_unit value which is bigger then base_unit_range - 1. Currently the codes for this deals with this by applying a mask: base_unit &= (base_unit_range - 1); But this means that we let the value overflow the range, we throw away the higher bits and store whatever value is left in the lower bits into the register leading to a random output frequency, rather then clamping the output frequency to the highest frequency which the hardware can do. This commit fixes both issues by clamping the base_unit value to be between 1 and (base_unit_range - 1).
