What if somebody has this in the DT:

	PWM_MODE_COMPLEMENTARY | PWM_MODE_PUSH_PULL

which one takes precedence, or do we reject it?

Wouldn't it be preferable to either move the modes into an extra field
within the flags field, or perhaps even add another field?

I guess since Rob's already acked this, that concern may be unfounded.

The first valid one will be selected.

In patch 1/1 from this series, changes added to of_pwm_xlate_with_flags()
function, there is this code:

+		for (modebit = PWMC_MODE_COMPLEMENTARY_BIT;
+		     modebit < PWMC_MODE_CNT; modebit++) {
+			unsigned long mode = BIT(modebit);
+
+			if ((args->args[2] & mode) &&
+			    pwm_mode_valid(pwm, mode)) {
+				pwm->args.mode = mode;
+				break;
+			}
+		}

And since the modes bits are defined as follows:

enum {
	PWMC_MODE_NORMAL_BIT,
	PWMC_MODE_COMPLEMENTARY_BIT,
	PWMC_MODE_PUSH_PULL_BIT,
	PWMC_MODE_CNT,
};

in your proposed scenario: PWM_MODE_COMPLEMENTARY | PWM_MODE_PUSH_PULL
the PWM_MODE_COMPLEMENTARY mode will be selected since it is the first
valid one.

This approach was proposed in version 2 of this series and based on the
discussions I had with Rob Herring [1] I decided to use the remaining space
from cell specific to PWM flags.

Thank you,
