Hi Oliver!
As you are not the first one asking for the status of the pwm sysfs
interface I post my answer to the linux-kernel list in hope others will
benefit.

It is not merged and will never be.

I already did resubmit an updated version taking Greg's comments into
account. You can find the thread here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136499756101273&w=2
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2387391/
Also this version will not get merged into mainline. I have to do a v2
according to Thierry's comments. I have planed to do it, but I will not
find the time during the next say 2 months.

You're welcome! This is a community project. And there is nothing special
to pull or something. Just take the patch from patchwork and work on it.

Thanks!
Thank you for your interest!

Ok, keep me updated. If in the meantime I find time, I'll take the next
set of comments into account and re-submit it, with a CC to you. If you
hear nothing, don't let that hold you back ;)
