Hello,
after
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1726819463.git.u.kleine-koenig@baylibre.com/
(v5) here comes a new revision of the pwm character device support. v5
consisted of 8 patches, the first 7 are in mainline already, so it's
only patch 2 of this series that is left. The first patch is just a doc
cleanup that I created while working on this code.
There is a userspace library with a few helper tools available at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ukleinek/libpwm.git.
Relevant changes since the last submission:
- (A bit) more documentation in form of code comments
- Make pid of userspace process that requests a PWM visible in
/sys/kernel/debug/pwm
- The (in kernel) convention that rounding functions return 1 on
rounding up is hidden to userspace. It's not so relevant there
because userspace only works with the generic waveform description
based on ns, and so different waveforms are easily comparable and
so the need for an extra signal about up-rounding isn't critical.
this is based on my current pwm/for-next branch, the current state is
also available at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ukleinek/linux.git pwm/chardev
Best regards
Uwe
