Yes/no/maybe :). Imho this is something to clarify in the pwm API documentation. As currently all it says is: "pwm_disable - stop a PWM output toggling", Which is what the exynos driver does. Thierry, could you clearify what the intention is here? I'm happy to prepare a pwm driver patch if needed to solve this? > If you resubmit the patch I would expect you to explain this in the > commit log. > > Guenter > > > -Anand Moon > > > > > > On 10 April 2015 at 17:30, Sjoerd Simons wrote: > >> Hey Anand, > >> > >> On Fri, 2015-04-10 at 16:58 +0530, Anand Moon wrote: > >>> Hi Guenter/Lukasz, > >>> > >>> Earlier I send v2 version of the patch spiking this one. > >>> > >>> Markus Riechl came back to me with below mail. > >>> So This patch confirms fixes the bug. > >>> > >>> I will send v3 version of the patch.
