Series acpi/pwm/i915: Convert pwm-crc and i915 driver's PWM code to use the atomic PWM API | expand

Commit Message

The pwm-crc code is using 2 different enable bits:
1. bit 7 of the PWM0_CLK_DIV (PWM_OUTPUT_ENABLE)
2. bit 0 of the BACKLIGHT_EN register

The BACKLIGHT_EN register at address 0x51 really controls a separate
output-only GPIO which is earmarked to be used as output connected to the
backlight-enable pin for LCD panels, this GPO is part of the PMIC's
"Display Panel Control Block." . This pin should probably be moved over
to a GPIO provider driver (and consumers modified accordingly), but that
is something for an(other) patch.

Enabling / disabling the actual PWM output is controlled by the
PWM_OUTPUT_ENABLE bit of the PWM0_CLK_DIV register.

As the comment in the old code already indicates we must disable the PWM
before we can change the clock divider. But the crc_pwm_disable() and
crc_pwm_enable() calls the old code make for this only change the
BACKLIGHT_EN register; and the value of that register does not matter for
changing the period / the divider. What does matter is that the
PWM_OUTPUT_ENABLE bit must be cleared before a new value can be written.

This commit modifies crc_pwm_config() to clear PWM_OUTPUT_ENABLE instead
when changing the period, so that period changes actually work.

Note this fix will cause a significant behavior change on some devices
using the CRC PWM output to drive their backlight. Before the PWM would
always run with the output frequency configured by the BIOS at boot, now
the period time specified by the i915 driver will actually be honored.
