Hi Thierry, Rob asked for the new compatible string so he did see it presumably. As you prefer to have an ACK by him I'll see to getting one for the driver (bindings part). The patch could be split but then one might want to split it even further. Like this the first patch in the series is a nice self contained package. > > > > + > > + mvpwm->clk_rate = clk_get_rate(mvchip->clk); > > + if (!mvpwm->clk_rate) { > > + dev_err(dev, "failed to get clock rate\n"); > > + return -EINVAL; > > + } > > + > > + mvpwm->chip.dev = dev; > > + mvpwm->chip.ops = &mvebu_pwm_ops; > > + mvpwm->chip.base = mvchip->chip.base; > > + mvpwm->chip.npwm = mvchip->chip.ngpio; > > I still would've done this differently.

Will work on all the mentioned bits for v6. Ralph
