[v5,17/24] pwm: keep PWM state in sync with hardware state

Commit Message

Boris BREZILLON April 14, 2016, 7:17 p.m. UTC

Before the introduction of pwm_args, the core was resetting the PWM period
and polarity states to the reference values (those provided through the
DT, a PWM lookup table or hardcoded in the driver).

Now that all PWM users are correctly using pwm_args to configure their
PWM device, we can safely remove the pwm_apply_args() call in
pwm_device_request().

We can also get rid of the pwm_set_period() call done in
pwm_apply_args(), because PWM users are now directly using pargs->period
instead of pwm_get_period(). By doing that we avoid messing with the
current PWM period.

The only remaining bit in pwm_apply_args() is the initial polarity
setting, and it should go away when all PWM users have been patched to
use the atomic API (with this API the polarity will be set along with
other PWM arguments when configuring the PWM).
