Subject: [PATCH v6 0/2] Clock based PWM output driver

This series introduces an "adapter" driver that allows PWM consumers
to control clock outputs with duty-cycle control.

Some platforms (e.g. some Qualcomm chipsets) have "General Purpose"
clocks that can be muxed to GPIO outputs and used as PWM outputs.
Those outputs may be connected to various peripherals such as
leds in display backlight or haptic feedback motor driver.

To avoid re-implementing every single PWM consumer driver with clk
support (like in [1]) and don't put the burden of providing the PWM
sources on the clock drivers (as was proposed in [2]), clk based
pwm controller driver is introduced.

There is an existing driver that provides the opposite function
in drivers/clk/clk-pwm.c with a compatible "pwm-clock" so the new
driver uses the opposite naming scheme: drivers/pwm/pwm-clk.c
and compatible "clk-pwm".

Changes in v2:
- Fix filename in the DT schema.
- Address Uwe's review comments.
Changes in v3:
- Fix node pattern in the core pwm schema.
- Address Uwe's review comments.
Changes in v4:
- Drop the (incorrect) pwm schema change.
- Use generic node name in the dt bindings example.
Changes in v5:
- Correct required properties.
- add missed returns.
Changes in v6:
- Add missed error cleanup
- Adjust limitations comment

Subject: [PATCH v6 2/2] pwm: Add clock based PWM output driver

Some systems have clocks exposed to external devices. If the clock
controller supports duty-cycle configuration, such clocks can be used as
pwm outputs. In fact PWM and CLK subsystems are interfaced with in a
similar way and an "opposite" driver already exists (clk-pwm). Add a
driver that would enable pwm devices to be used via clk subsystem.

Can you really compile this driver if HAVE_CLK isn't available?

- The clk API doesn't expose the necessary calls to implement
.get_state().

I'd prefer this was not called chip, as this is how struct pwm_chip
variables are called usually. My suggestion is:

chip -> pcchip
pwm_chip -> chip

As I can see, clk.h has all the methods stubbed out if CONFIG_HAVE_CLK
is not set. (And I think that all other headers like that do as well)

I've tried to build it without clk right now and it builds with no
errors, neither test robots complained about that.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll use the common naming then.
