Currently .get_state() and .apply() use dev_get_drvdata() on the struct
device related to the pwm chip. This only works after .probe() called
platform_set_drvdata() which in this driver happens only after
pwmchip_add() and so comes possibly too late.

Instead of setting the driver data earlier use the traditional
container_of approach as this way the driver data is conceptually and
computational nearer.

Hello,

in v4 of the driver Michael still used container_of and then changed to
use dev_get_drvdata() as Lee suggested. I didn't notice this suggestion,
otherwise I would have expressed my variance about this already earlier.

I noticed this problem because Michael contacted me via irc and showed
me the resulting oops, so I think applying this before 5.10 would be
good. It's not entirely clear to me why .get_state() is called that
early in his case, but the theory is clear: The callbacks can be called
as soon as pwmchip_add() is called.

Best regards
Uwe

I wasn't able to reproduce the original bug, it seems it is really
timing/kernel/kernel config dependent. Thus I could only test if it
still working and could not verify that the original bug is fixed.
Nonetheless:

Btw. the backtrace is available here:

This is triggered from deferred_probe_work, so my best guess is that
both the pwm-fan (here the consumer) and the pwm hardware driver were
probed in parallel with a timing that made pwm-fan hit the short window
when driver data was unset.

I wonder if we {sh,c}ould expand PWM_DEBUG to hit this kind of error.
E.g. let pwmchip_add() request and get_state each PWM.

Best regards
Uwe

Ping. Would be nice if this makes it into v5.10.

Yes, fully agreed. @Thierry: Do you care to send it to Linus? Or are you
ok if I do that?
