This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled pwm: sifive: Reduce time the controller lock is held to the 5.15-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-sifive-reduce-time-the-controller-lock-is-held.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d32275b478aea94adec6a25d369b07e8726105fc Author: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jul 21 12:31:25 2022 +0200 pwm: sifive: Reduce time the controller lock is held [ Upstream commit 0f02f491b786143f08eb19840f1cf4f12aec6dee ] The lock is only to serialize access and update to user_count and approx_period between different PWMs served by the same pwm_chip. So the lock needs only to be taken during the check if the (chip global) period can and/or needs to be changed.
