The API to configure a PWM using pwm_enable(), pwm_disable(),
pwm_config() and pwm_set_polarity() is superseeded by atomically setting
the parameters using pwm_apply_state(). To get forward with deprecating
the former set of functions use the opportunity that there is no current
user of pwm_set_polarity() and remove it.

I think this patch is undisputed and wonder if it fell through the
cracks given that a patch sent later made it into your pwm/for-4.20-rc1
pull request.

Best regards

Now that you pushed out my lpc patch to your for-next branch (thanks!),
I wonder what you plan to do with this patch.

Ping! There are also a few other patches that didn't catch your
attention yet:

 - series for pwm-imx starting with
   "pwm: imx: remove if block where the condition is always wrong"
 - "pwm: don't use memcmp to compare struct state variables"
 - "pwm: drop per-chip dbg_show callback"

Best regards

In a different thread it was suggested to resend the patches instead of
sending a ping. Should I do that? There are also

 - pwm: rearrange structures to group members by purpose
 - [RFC] Documentation: pwm: rework documentation for the framework

which didn't get any feedback from you yet.

There is a patchwork instance for the pwm list[1]. Are you using that?
It seems to be orphaned for some time but was already used this year.
Would you accept some help here? E.g. 

 - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1001130/
   -> superseeded as there is a v3
 - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/993022/
   -> rejected is probably right
 - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/860540/
   -> applied as bb084c0f61d659f0e6d371b096e0e57998f191d6
 - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-pwm/list/?series=72798
   -> rejected

Best regards

It's sad to not get any feedback from you, and I'm not the only one
waiting for a reply. Linux is at -rc6 and there is only a single patch
in your (visible) queue for the next merge window although there are
some patches that look ready for application on the list.

I guess it's lack of time that keeps you from caring more for the pwm
stuff. If you need help (e.g. by caring for the patchwork todo list) I'm
willing to spend some time. If it helps you I can also collect the
patches that I think are ok and provide a pull request to your tree.

I certainly wouldn't mind a little help. Reviewing patches will
definitely help move things along.

Applied, thanks. I did change the subject to start with "pwm: Drop" to
make it consistent with other commit messages.

Hello Thierry,

I already did. Apart from my patch series noted before:

 - series for pwm-imx starting with
   "pwm: imx: remove if block where the condition is always wrong"
 - "pwm: don't use memcmp to compare struct state variables"
 - "pwm: drop per-chip dbg_show callback"

I think the following patches are ready for application:

 - [v3] pwm: kconfig: enable kona pwm to be built for cygnus arch
 - [13/17] pwm: bcm2835: Switch to SPDX identifier

As I only recently subscribed to the linux-pwm list I don't have the
older patches listed on
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-pwm/list/ in my inbox. Just
grabbed Michal's imx get_state series from there and replied.

Other than that feedback to my RFC doc patch would be great. One thing I
didn't mention there is: Is pwm_disable supposed to wait for the current
period to end? I'd say yes (even though it might make sense to have the
possibility to stop immediately in some cases).

I'm a bit frustrated with the state of the list of open patches. There
were little feedback from you on the list since July, during this time
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-pwm/list/ grew by ~1.5 pages
and there are still topics that I want to bring forward that depend on
you to cooperate. As I spend quite some time reviewing patches here, I
wonder if you'd be willing to give me maintainer-status for the pwm
patchwork to update the state on the various patches there. If you want
I can also add me to the MAINTAINERS file (as reviewer or maintainer --
whatever you consider sensible). I'd also like to have pwm patches
applied in a more expeditious way and expose them in next.

Best regards

Feel free to send a patch to add you as reviewer, you've been doing good
work so far.

I know I've been lagging behind on review and maintainance tasks since I
have been busy with a bunch of other things lately and I've had little
to no spare time at all for a few weeks. I'm hopeful that things will
get back to mostly normal for the next cycle (things have been slowing
down recently). I'm also considering making a few changes to my daily
routine so that I can hopefully get around to patch review sooner.
