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!
