There may be situation when PWM is exported using sysfs,
but at that point PWM period is not set. At this situation
if we issue a system suspend, it calls pwm_class_suspend
which in turn calls pwm_apply_state, where PWM period value is
checked which returns an invalid argument error casuing Kernel
to panic. So, check for PWM period value is removed so as to
fix the kernel panic observed during suspend.

This looks and sounds wrong. One thing I would accept is:

diff --git a/drivers/pwm/core.c b/drivers/pwm/core.c

 		return -EINVAL;
 
 	chip = pwm->chip;

That is, don't refuse calling pwm_apply_state() for state->period = 0
and even state->duty_cycle > state->period if the PWM is not enabled.

But anyhow, even without that the kernel should not panic. So I ask you
to research and provide some more info about the problem. (Which
hardware does it affect? Where does it panic? ...)

Best regards

By this do you mean doing it following way?

if (!pwm || !state || (pwm && !state->period) ||
	    (pwm && state->duty_cycle > state->period))
		return -EINVAL;

Observing Kernel panic in exynos SoC when we issue system suspend. Following
is the snippet of error:

Hello,

I fixed up the quoting for you in this mail. Please fix your mailer to
not break quotes, this is quite annoying. (Looking at the headers of
your mail you're using Outlook. Then your only viable option is to
switch to a saner client.)

No. Your expression is logically equivalent to what we already have. I
meant:

	if (!pwm || !state || state->enabled && (!state->period ||
	    state->duty_cycle > state->period))
		return -EINVAL;

Learning to read diffs (maybe Outlook scrambled the view for you, too?)
is a nice capability you should master.

Just locking at that and starring at drivers/base/power/main.c for a
while doesn't make this clearer to me. Are you using a mainline kernel?
Which version?

Looks like I had some local patch which was causing the error to trigger
Kernel Panic (sorry about that).
On removing those local changes, I do not observe kernel panic, but observe
following error and then suspend fails.

[   63.963063] pwm pwmchip0: PM: dpm_run_callback ():
pwm_class_suspend+0x0/0xf8 returns -22
[   63.963079] pwm pwmchip0: PM: failed to suspend: error -22

So, as to fix this issue I will post a new version of patch containing
change suggested by you.
