Subject: [PATCH v10 4/6] pwm: Make it possible to apply PWM changes in atomic context
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2023 16:30:27 +0000

Some PWM devices require sleeping, for example if the pwm device is
connected over I2C. However, many PWM devices could be used from atomic
context, e.g. memory mapped PWM. This is useful for, for example, the
pwm-ir-tx driver which requires precise timing. Sleeping causes havoc
with the generated IR signal.

Since not all PWM devices can support atomic context, we also add a
pwm_might_sleep() function to check if is not supported.

+PWM devices can be used from atomic context, if the PWM does not sleep. You
+can check if this the case with::
+
+        bool pwm_might_sleep(struct pwm_device *pwm);
+
+If false, the PWM can also be configured from atomic context with::

 As a consumer, don't rely on the output's state for a disabled PWM. If it's
 easily possible, drivers are supposed to emit the inactive state, but some
 drivers cannot. If you rely on getting the inactive state, use .duty_cycle=0,
