Well, it should have been done this way from the beginning, but pwm_apply_args() was introduced before the commit introducing the atomic APIs, and I forgot to update it when moving to the atomic approach :-/. > > > + * To fulfill this requirement, we apply a new state which disables > > + * the PWM device and set the reference period and polarity config. > > * > > * Note that PWM users requiring a smooth handover between the > > * bootloader and the kernel (like critical regulators controlled by > > * PWM devices) will have to switch to the atomic API and avoid calling > > * pwm_apply_args(). > > */ > > - pwm_disable(pwm); > > - pwm_set_polarity(pwm, pwm->args.polarity); > > Notably, you're dropping the 'if (!pwm) { }' safety checks that are part > of pwm_disable() and pwm_set_polarity().

I can add it back here if you prefer, but honestly, PWM users that are not checking the value returned by pwm_get() should be considered buggy IMHO, and a NULL pointer exception is a good way to make people realize they are not properly using the API :). > > > + > > + state.enabled = false; > > + state.polarity = pwm->args.polarity; > > + state.period = pwm->args.period; > > + > > + pwm_apply_state(pwm, &state); > > } > > > > struct pwm_lookup { > > Reviewed-by: Brian Norris <briannorris@chromium.org> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pwm" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I've applied this to my fixes branch, and I'll let it cook in linux-next for a little while, then send it off to Linus for v4.7-rc6 next week if no further fallout is caused by this. Thierry
