Since 5.4-rc1, pwm_apply_state calls ->get_state after ->apply
if available, and this revealed an issue with integer precision
when calculating duty_cycle and period for the currently set
state in ->get_state callback.
This issue manifested in broken backlight on several Allwinner
based devices.
Previously this worked, because ->apply updated the passed state
directly.
Fixes: deb9c462f4e53 ("pwm: sun4i: Don't update the state for the caller of pwm_apply_state")

The issue is real and the fix looks right. So take my
Acked-by: Uwe Kleine-K?nig <[email protected]>
There are a few more issues though:
- The dty value is calculated as (simplified):
dty = prd * state->duty_cycle / state->period
which gives suboptimal values in some cases.
- The algorithm does 2 divisions (and one too early) instead of a single
one at the end, which is both ineffective and gives away precision.
- the test in sun4i_pwm_apply about cstate.period != state->period and
the same for duty is probably less useful now because it compares
requested values with actually implemented ones.
- it's unclear what the "surprising values" are that sun4i_pwm_calculate
talks about in a comment. (And IMHO you should always round down.)
- Having a comment describing the implemented duty_cycle and period
depending on how the registers are set would be helpful to understand
the implemented algorithm.
- If there is a publically available datasheet adding a link to it in
the header of the driver would be great.
Best regards
Uwe

Applied, thanks.
