This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled pwm: stm32: Improve precision of calculation in .apply() to the 6.9-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-stm32-improve-precision-of-calculation-in-.apply.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e910bcd4d018e3f4b0f49efd8e10b11703b5ef58 Author: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Mar 17 22:52:14 2024 +0100 pwm: stm32: Improve precision of calculation in .apply() [ Upstream commit e419617847b688799a91126eb6c94b936bfb35ff ] While mathematically it's ok to calculate the number of cyles for the duty cycle as: duty_cycles = period_cycles * duty_ns / period_ns this doesn't always give the right result when doing integer math. This is best demonstrated using an example: With the input clock running at 208877930 Hz a request for duty_cycle = 383 ns and period = 49996 ns results in period_cycles = clkrate * period_ns / NSEC_PER_SEC = 10443.06098828 Now calculating duty_cycles with the above formula gives: duty_cycles = 10443.06098828 * 383 / 49996 = 80.00024719 However with period_cycle truncated to an integer results in: duty_cycles = 10443 * 383 / 49996 = 79.99977998239859 So while a value of (a little more than) 80 would be the right result, only 79 is used here. The problem here is that 14443 is a rounded result that should better not be used to do further math. So to fix that use the exact formular similar to how period_cycles is calculated.
