Perhaps something like this: struct pwm_lookup *entry; ... if (match > best) { chip = pwmchip_find_by_name(p->provider); entry = p; if (match != 3) best = match; else break; } ... if (chip) pwm = pwm_request_from_chip(chip, entry->index, con_id ?: dev_id); if (IS_ERR(pwm)) return pwm; pwm_set_period(pwm, entry->period); pwm_set_polarity(pwm, entry->polarity); ?

That's possible. But that will add complexity, as you have to move the "mutex_unlock(&pwm_lookup_lock);" after the last user of "entry" again, and add a goto for the IS_ERR(pwm) case. So I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

Oh, right. It would've been nice to avoid all the temporary variables, but we can always refactor if that turns out to become too messy. I'll apply this one for now. I'll shorten the SHA-1 in the Fixes: line to 12 characters if you don't mind to match the guidelines in Documentation/SubmittingPatches. Thierry

If pwm_get() finds a look-up entry with a perfect match (both dev_id and con_id match), the loop is aborted, and "p" still points to the correct struct pwm_lookup. If only an entry with a matching dev_id or con_id is found, the loop terminates after traversing the whole list, and "p" now points to arbitrary memory, not part of the pwm_lookup list. Then pwm_set_period() and pwm_set_polarity() will set random values for period resp. polarity. To fix this, save period and polarity when finding a new best match, just like is done for chip (for the provider) and index. This fixes the LCD backlight on r8a7740/armadillo-legacy, which was fed period 0 and polarity -1068821144 instead of 33333 resp. 1.
