Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] pwm: omap-dmtimer: Allow for dynamic pwm period updates

This series fixes minor issues in config callback and allows for on the
fly updates for pwm period and duty cycle. This is mainly intended to
allow pwm omap dmtimer to be used for generating a 1PPS signal that can be
syncronized to PTP clock in CPTS module available in AM335x and AM57xx SoCs.

Series depends on the following series:
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11379875/
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-omap/list/?series=248929

Full dependencies can be seen here:
https://github.com/lokeshvutla/linux/tree/devel/pwm-1pps-generation-v2

Changes since v1:
- Updated commit description in PATCH 1
- Added a brief about PWM generation using OMAP DM timer.
- Updated the pwm stop callback to allow for completing the current pwm
cycle.
- Added the limitaitons of hardware.
- Used hw status instead of relying on pwm framework for state update.

Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] pwm: omap-dmtimer: Do not disable pwm before changing period/duty_cycle

Only the Timer control register(TCLR) cannot be updated when the timer
is running. Registers like Counter register(TCRR), loader register(TLDR),
match register(TMAR) can be updated when the counter is running. Since
TCLR is not updated in pwm_omap_dmtimer_config(), do not stop the
timer for period/duty_cycle update.

Still works for me with "pwm: omap-dmtimer: Fix pwm disabling sequence"
patch left out:
