This is only a runtime dependency if I'm not mistaken, so it would be
great to have

	depends on MFD_IQS62X || COMPILE_TEST
	depends on REGMAP

here.

This is always true, so you can drop it.

Since

	71523d1812ac ("pwm: Ensure pwm_apply_state() doesn't modify the state argument")

this isn't the right prototype.

This suggests that if the value in the IQS620_PWM_DUTY_CYCLE is 0 the
duty cycle is 1/256 ms with a period of 1 ms and the output cannot be
constant inactive. If this is right please add a paragraph in the
driver's comment at the top:

	* Limitations:
	* - The hardware cannot generate a 0% duty cycle

(Please stick to this format, other drivers use it, too.)

How does the hardware behave on changes? For example you're first
committing the duty cycle and then on/off. Can it happen that between

	pwm_apply_state(pwm, { .duty_cycle = 3900, .period = 1000000, .enabled = true)
	...
	pwm_apply_state(pwm, { .duty_cycle = 1000000, .period = 1000000, .enabled = false)

the output is active for longer than 4 µs because the iqs620_pwm_apply
function is preempted between the two register writes and so we already
have .duty_cycle = 1000000 but still .enabled = true in the hardware?

Does a change complete the currently running period? Does disabling
complete the currently running period? If so, does regmap_update_bits
block until the new setting is active?

The .apply function fails to check for .pwm_polarity. You want something
like:

	if (state->polarity != PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL)
		return -ENOTSUPP;

(That's what pwm-rcar and the core (in the absence of .set_polarity for
old-style drivers) are using. @Thierry: It would be great to fix the
vaule that should be returned in this case. pwm-lpss and sifive use
-EINVAL.)

So the PWM can loose it's state sometimes? When does that happen?

I wonder if this is safe. If in iqs620_pwm_notifier_unregister()
unregistering of the notifier goes wrong (not sure when this can happen)
the memory behind iqs620_pwm goes away. Then later iqs620_pwm_notifier
might be called trying to use *iqs620_pwm ...

I'm not a big fan of aligning the = in struct initializers. The downside
is that if you later add

	.prevent_deferred_probe = true,

you either have to touch all (otherwise unrelated) lines to realign
which adds churn, or the structure is only partially aligned which looks
ugly. That's why I stick to a single space before the =.

Best regards

Sure thing; will do. Actually, it seems I can add this to all but the input
driver, as that one relies on iqs62x_events exported from the MFD.

This is here because iqs620_pwm_notifier references chip.pwms, which is
not allocated until after the notifier is registered and pwmchip_add is
called. So it protects against this (albeit unlikely) race condition:

1. iqs620_pwm_notifier is registered
2. Device immediately suffers an asynchronous reset and notifier chain
   is called (more on that in a bit)
3. iqs620_pwm_notifier evaluates chips.pwms (NULL)

I felt this was simpler than calling pwmchip_add before registering the
notifier and adding an error/tear-down path in iqs620_pwm_probe in case
of failure. I would be happy to add a comment or two to explain the not-
so-obvious purpose of this flag.

Sure thing; I will add the 'const' qualifier and remove the two changes
to the state argument.

That's correct; the lowest duty cycle that can be achieved using only the
IQS620_PWM_DUTY_CYCLE register is 0.4%. We can, however, generate 0% duty
cycle by disabling the output altogether using a separate register. Would
that be better than flat-out saying it's impossible?

My results show that it is possible to generate up to two irregular periods
by changing the duty cycle while the output is active.

Depending on the ratio of old-to-new duty cycle and the position of the I2C
write relative to the asynchronous output, the device may produce one pulse
for which the width represents neither the old nor the new duty cycle.

A quick test reveals the following:

* Duty cycle changes may interrupt a running period, i.e., the output may
  transition in the middle of the period to accommodate the new duty cycle.
* Disabling the output drives it to zero immediately, i.e., the period does
  does not run to completion.

I will add a 'Limitations' section at the top as other drivers do, and call
these points out specifically.

Sure thing; I'll return -ENOTSUPP in this case.

That's correct. The device performs an internal soft reset in the presence
of what it considers to be an I2C timeout error; in this case all registers
are restored to their default values.

The data sheet goes so far as to recommend monitoring for this interrupt and
restoring the device on-the-fly. I have added some comments in iqs62x_irq in
patch [2/8] which provides some further detail.

I think this is purely theoretical, as blocking_notifier_chain_unregister
only fails if the notifier is not found in the chain. If for some reason
blocking_notifier_chain_register fails (which currently cannot happen, as
it always returns zero), the driver will fail to probe before the action
could be added.

This of course means the error message in iqs620_pwm_notifier_unregister
is unnecessary; it is simply provided for debug/visibility.

Sure thing; your argument is valid and I will reduce to a single space.

Ah, understood. A comment is definitively necessary here.

Another problem that we have here is that the period is fixed to 1 ms
and if a consumer requests for example:

	.period = 5000000,
	.duty_cycle = 1000000,

the hardware is actually configured for

	.period = 1000000,
	.duty_cycle = 1000000,

. I don't have a good suggestion how to fix this. We'd need to
draw a line somewhere and decline a request that is too far from the
result. But where this line should be is not obvious, it should
definitively not be implemented in the driver itself IMHO.

(The only halfway sane approach would be to let lowlevel drivers
implement a .round_state callback and then let the framework judge. But
we're a long way from having that, so that's not a solution for today.)

There is (maybe) a small difference between disabled and 0% duty cycle,
at least from the framework's POV: If you do:

	pwm_apply_state(pwm, { .enabled = true, .period = 1000000, .duty_cycle = 1000000, });
	pwm_apply_state(pwm, { .enabled = false, .period = $DC, .duty_cycle = $DC, });
	pwm_apply_state(pwm, { .enabled = true, .period = 1000000, .duty_cycle = 1000000, });

and compare it to the expected result of

	pwm_apply_state(pwm, { .enabled = true, .period = 1000000, .duty_cycle = 1000000, });
	pwm_apply_state(pwm, { .enabled = true, .period = 1000000, .duty_cycle = 0, });
	pwm_apply_state(pwm, { .enabled = true, .period = 1000000, .duty_cycle = 1000000, });

the difference is that the duration of the inactive phase in the latter
case is a multiple of 1 ms.

There is no policy for lowlevel drivers what to do, but disabling when
0% is requested is at least not unseen and probably more what consumers
expect.

Is this a theoretic problem or does that happen from time to time?

Monitoring that interrupt seems reasonable.

I'd suggest to do the unregister call in the remove callback which you
have for pwm unregistration anyhow. Or alternatively implement a devm_
variant of the notifier registration that explains in the comments that
it is safe.

Agreed on all counts. For now, I will mention in the 'Limitations' heading that
the period cannot be adjusted.

With the change I am proposing, the output will be driven to zero if enabled = false
OR duty_cycle < 4000 ns. Stated another way:

enable duty_cycle IQS620_PWR_SETTINGS[7] IQS620_PWM_DUTY_CYCLE
------ ---------- ---------------------- ---------------------
  0    don't care           0                  don't care
  1    0 ... 3999           0                  don't care
  1    4000 ... x           1                      0
  1    x+1  ... y           1                      1

...and so on. For context, if IQS620_PWR_SETTINGS[7] = 0 then the output is held to
zero. If IQS620_PWR_SETTINGS[7] = 1 then the output toggles at a duty cycle between
0.4% and 100% as a function of IQS620_PWM_DUTY_CYCLE.

Based on how the device behaves in response to its two available registers, I think
your two examples will appear equal, but please let me know if I have understood.

This event can occur if the I2C master stalls a transaction for 10's of ms. It's
not a theoretical problem, but it should not happen during normal circumstances.

Sure thing; I'll unregister the notifier in iqs620_pwm_remove.

Ack. My longterm plan is to require .apply_state() to round down both
.period and .duty_cycle. This isn't wrong already today, so I suggest
you decline a request to set the period to something smaller than 1 ms
with an error code. (I think most drivers use -EINVAL here, conceptually
-EDOM might be sensible. I'd stick to EINVAL for now.)

Your table isn't accurate. IQS620_PWM_DUTY_CYCLE=0 results in a
duty_cycle of 3906.25 ns so the table should look as follows:

enable  duty_cycle  IQS620_PWR_SETTINGS[7] IQS620_PWM_DUTY_CYCLE
------ ------------ ---------------------- ---------------------
  0     don't care           0                  don't care
  1       [0, 3906]          0                  don't care
  1    [3907, 7812]          1                      0
  1    [7813,11718]          1                      1

In general:

	dc = state->duty_cycle * 256 / 1000000
	if state->enabled == false or dc == 0:
	    IQS620_PWR_SETTINGS[7] = 0

	else:
	    IQS620_PWM_DUTY_CYCLE = min(dc - 1, 0xff)
	    IQS620_PWR_SETTINGS[7] = 1

Yeah, that's the expectation.

With the rounding as I suggested above this yields strange effects like
if

	.period = 1 s, .duty_cycle = 0.5 s

is requested you end up in

	.period = 1 ms, .duty_cycle = 1 ms

but I think there is nothing we can reasonably do about this.

Best regards

Acknowledged on all counts. FWIW, I expect the most common consumer of this PWM
to be leds-pwm. That is to say, I think the limitations in this case are pretty
harmless. Users will typically pin the period to 1000000 ns like the example in
patch [1/8].
