Thierry,

I realized that this patch did not make it into 4.4-rc1, while others,
IMHO less important patches which have been posted later (e.g. sunxi
whitespace fixes) have made it! :-(

Anything wrong with that? Or am I on your spam list? Note that this is
already a RESEND :-)

You are not alone with this problem, I have unreviewed changes in
linux-pwm mailing list sent in 2014 :)

The reason why I merged them is because they are low-risk, whereas this
patch of yours changes existing behaviour, and hasn't received any
feedback from anyone. So the choice that I need to make is to either
trust the original author to have tested the driver and it was working,
or you to have verified that it is still working after the patch on all
setups that it used to work on. The first option obviously carries the
least risk, and that's the reason why the patch hasn't been merged.

> Anything wrong with that? Or am I on your spam list? Note that this is

If you want to get this merged, you should try to get some feedback from
at least the original author. Xiubo Li and I extensively discussed this
back at the time when he submitted the driver and we came up with the
current code as the best approach to making sure that clocks are on and
off when they should be. So if it's not working for you, I'm fine taking
the patch if Xiubo or somebody else has had the chance to look at it and
review or test it. So a Reviewed-by or Tested-by tag will go a long way
to convince me that it's safe to apply.

Also you enumerate all the various bits that are broken, and it would
seem to me that they could each be fixed individually rather than go and
implement something completely different which might have undesirable
side-effects. Such an approach would also make it more likely for me to
merge the patch because it would hopefully be more obvious what is being
fixed and that it's a correct fix.

It's not that I mind the rework, but I'd at least like for someone to
verify that it's all still working on existing setups. Now, I understand
that people can go missing, so if nobody were to give you a Reviewed-by
or Tested-by for a couple of weeks I'd even consider applying without,
but as it is, you didn't even Cc Xiubo on the patch, so he's likely
missed it entirely.

Please either ping me or resend patches if I don't reply within a week
or so. Chances are I've either not seen them or meant to reply but never
got around to.

Also, the Linux kernel is a community-driven project, so I fully expect
contributors to review each other's patches. Review isn't something that
only maintainers need to do.

Thanks Thierry for looking into that!

Added Li as recipient to start discussion.

In mainline, the driver is only used in Freescale Vybrid device trees. I
think most issues have been introduced with the patches adding suspend
support:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1806940

Not sure against what suspend/resume implementation Li created the
patches, so far there is no suspend/resume implementation for Vybrid
upstream. While working on Vybrid's low power mode LPSTOP3, I noticed
the issues....

There are different issues addressed by one solution: Using the clock
frameworks enable/disable counts... I looked through the code again, it
is really quite hard to split it up. I could create one patch which only
switches the PWM enable/disable part to clock framework counts, and
leave the suspend/resume part broken. Than, in a second patch fix the
suspend/resume part. But that sounds like the wrong approach to me
too...

I took inspiration from other PWM drivers, I think the suspend/resume
idea was from TI EHRPWM PWM driver. So this shouldn't be far off what
others are doing.

I have had Li in the initial email, don't know/remember why I removed
him from the list in RESEND... Will keep him in the loop.

Just realized that there is now a helper function for
test_bit(PWMF_ENABLED,... Will send a v2 anyway then.

Yeah, kind of remember now, Li is not with Freescale anymore, at least
his address bounces:

The original message was received at Mon, 23 Nov 2015 14:50:20 -0700
from az84f-il1-il2-vlan904.am.freescale.net [192.88.158.118]

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<[email protected]>
(reason: 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>... User unknown)


I did not found a newer/updated email address.

I will send a v2 with the helper.
