Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] LP3943 MFD driver for a GPIO expander and a PWM generator

LP3943 is an integrated device capable of driving 16 output channels.
It can be used for GPIO expander and PWM generators.
LP3493 registers are controlled via the I2C interface.

This patch-set consists of four parts - MFD, GPIO, PWM and documents.

Major updates in v3:

* MFD
Lee Jones pointed confusing pin number notation.
Now, each output pin number is exactly matched to each enum value.

LP3943 has a static configuration from platform data or the device tree,
So, I keep the driver structure instead of using the pin control subsystem.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/14/490)

* PWM
Do not emulate 'set_polarity' function in case of unsupported feature by
the chip.
Code fixes based on Thierry Reding's comments.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/14/188)

* Documentation
From Thierry's suggestion, detailed driver description was moved to
'Documentation/lp3943.txt'.
Fix device tree bindings from maintainers' comments.

Really? Why here? Do we really want 1000's of driver docs in /Documentation?

No other driver does this (intel gained from a glancing look).

Well, perhaps the top-level Documentation directory isn't optimal, but I
think it's a lot better than the commit description. Perhaps an 'mfd'
subdirectory could be created where documentation such as this could be
put.

There is no subdirectory for GPIO and PWM documents under 'Documentation'.
That's why I put LP3943 documentation here.

I thought it's no issue because I still found few driver documentations
in that location.
It sounds like people are moving those into other subdirectories.
Thanks for this information.

I agree Thierry.
If you don't mind, can I create a MFD subdirectory with this patch-set
in next version, v4?
Any other ideas are welcome.

Best regards,
Milo

This seems like a good idea.
