Subject: [PATCH v7 5/8] pwm: core: Support new PWM_STAGGERING_ALLOWED flag
Date:   Tue,  6 Apr 2021 18:41:37 +0200

If the flag PWM_STAGGERING_ALLOWED is set on a channel, the PWM driver
may (if supported by the HW) delay the ON time of the channel relative
to the channel number.
This does not alter the duty cycle ratio and is only relevant for PWM
chips with less prescalers than channels, which would otherwise assert
multiple or even all enabled channels at the same time.

If this feature is supported by the driver and the flag is set on
multiple channels, their ON times are spread out to improve EMI and
reduce current spikes.
