Default is 0. The pwm- prefix is rather redundant since the node is already named pwm. Why not simply st,channels? Or simply channels, since it's not really anything specific to this hardware. Come to think of it, might be worth having a discussion with our DT gurus about what their stance is on using the # as prefix for numbers (such as in #address-cells or #size-cells).

It's usually I think I did at the time object, though very mildly. The property here is somewhat different, though. For one this is a PWM specific node, so the pwm- prefix is completely redundant. Also for pwm-sti where you had introduced st,pwm-num-chan, the property denoted how many PWM channels vs. capture channels (st,capture-num-chan) the device was supposed to use. Here there are only one type of channels. > suggested to reuse exiting properties when writing new bindings. Given the above I think this case is different. Further my understanding is that the desire to reuse existing properties is primarily for generic properties. Vendor specific properties are always going to have to be defined in the specific bindings, so it doesn't matter very much whether they are reused or not. Lastly, I think st,pwm-num-chan is not optimal, and while it isn't very bad either, I do believe that when we see ways of improving things then we should do so, regardless of whether existing ways to describe things already exist. Especially if it comes at no additional cost. All of that said, this is my opinion and if everybody thinks that the st,pwm-num-chan is the better choice I'll merge it. Anyway, we'll need the Acked-by from one of the device tree bindings maintainers and I'd like to see at least an attempt at a discussion. Thierry

I need to know if I have to activate breakinput feature and on which level I will rewrite it like that: Optional parameters: - st,breakinput-polarity-high: Set if break input polarity is active on high level. - st,breakinput-polarity-high: Set if break input polarity is active on low level. >> +- st,pwm-num-chan: Number of available PWM channels.

How is that different from a single property: Optional properties: - st,breakinput-polarity: If present, a break input is available for the channel. In that case the property value denotes the polarity of the break input: - 0: active low - 1: active high ? > > The pwm- prefix is rather redundant since the node is already named pwm. > > Why not simply st,channels?

I suppose in that case my comment above about the break input polarity is somewhat obsoleted. Still I think you won't need two properties. Instead you can follow what other similar properties have done: choose a default (often low-active) and have a single optional property to override the default (often high-active). In your case: - st,breakinput-active-high: Some channels have a break input, whose polarity will be active low by default. If this property is present, the channel will be configured with an active high polarity for the break input. Thierry

For break input feature I need two information: do I have to active it and if activated on which level.

It's also much easier to test for in practice because for the second solution you have to parse two properties before you know whether it is active or not. The second is typically the solution for required properties where only one of the properties is used to override the default. Thierry
