Sam Shih efecdeb82f pwm: mediatek: Allocate the clks array dynamically
Instead of using fixed size of arrays, allocate the memory for them
based on the number of PWMs specified for each SoC generation.

Sam Shih 61aa258ab1 pwm: mediatek: Remove the has_clks field
We can use fixed clocks to repair mt7628 PWM during configure from
userspace. The SoC is legacy MIPS and has no complex clock tree. Because
we can get the clock frequency for period calculation from fixed clocks
specified in DT, we can remove the has_clock field, and directly use
devm_clk_get() and clk_get_rate().

This patch drop the check for of_device_get_match_data. Due to the only
way call driver probe is compatible match. The data pointer which points
to the SoC specify data is directly set by driver, and it should not be
NULL in our case. We can safety remove the check for the result of
of_device_get_match_data().

Thierry Reding d85b9ce198 pwm: atmel: Remove unneeded check for match data
Since the driver is now exclusively DT, it only binds if it finds a
match in the of_device_id table. But in that case the associated data
can never be NULL, so drop the unnecessary check.

While at it, drop the extra local variable and store the pointer to
this per-SoC data in the driver data directly.

Fabrice Gasnier c91e3234c6 pwm: stm32-lp: Add check in case requested period cannot be achieved
LPTimer can use a 32KHz clock for counting. It depends on clock tree
configuration. In such a case, PWM output frequency range is limited.
Although unlikely, nothing prevents user from requesting a PWM frequency
above counting clock (32KHz for instance):
- This causes (prd - 1) = 0xffff to be written in ARR register later in
the apply() routine.
This results in badly configured PWM period (and also duty_cycle).
Add a check to report an error is such a case.

Uwe Kleine-König 71523d1812 pwm: Ensure pwm_apply_state() doesn't modify the state argument
It is surprising for a PWM consumer when the variable holding the
requested state is modified by pwm_apply_state(). Consider for example a
driver doing:

        #define PERIOD 5000000
        #define DUTY_LITTLE 10
        ...
        struct pwm_state state = {
                .period = PERIOD,
                .duty_cycle = DUTY_LITTLE,
                .polarity = PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL,
                .enabled = true,
        };

        pwm_apply_state(mypwm, &state);
        ...
        state.duty_cycle = PERIOD / 2;
        pwm_apply_state(mypwm, &state);

For sure the second call to pwm_apply_state() should still have
state.period = PERIOD and not something the hardware driver chose for a
reason that doesn't necessarily apply to the second call.

So declare the state argument as a pointer to a const type and adapt all
drivers' .apply callbacks.

Hans de Goede 6cf9481b44 pwm: Fallback to the static lookup-list when acpi_pwm_get fails
Commit 4a6ef8e37c ("pwm: Add support referencing PWMs from ACPI")
made pwm_get unconditionally return the acpi_pwm_get return value if
the device passed to pwm_get has an ACPI fwnode.

But even if the passed in device has an ACPI fwnode, it does not
necessarily have the necessary ACPI package defining its pwm bindings,
especially since the binding / API of this ACPI package has only been
introduced very recently.

Up until now X86/ACPI devices which use a separate pwm controller for
controlling their LCD screen's backlight brightness have been relying
on the static lookup-list to get their pwm.

pwm_get unconditionally returning the acpi_pwm_get return value breaks
this, breaking backlight control on these devices.

This commit fixes this by making pwm_get fall back to the static
lookup-list if acpi_pwm_get returns -ENOENT.

Rob Herring 7d9ef7f37d dt-bindings: riscv: Limit cpus schema to only check RiscV 'cpu' nodes
Matching on the 'cpus' node was a bad choice because the schema is
incorrectly applied to non-RiscV cpus nodes. As we now have a common cpus
schema which checks the general structure, it is also redundant to do so
in the Risc-V CPU schema.

The downside is one could conceivably mix different architecture's cpu
nodes or have typos in the compatible string. The latter problem pretty
much exists for every schema.

Pull CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT stub config from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The real-time preemption patch set exists for almost 15 years now and
  while the vast majority of infrastructure and enhancements have found
  their way into the mainline kernel, the final integration of RT is
  still missing.

  Over the course of the last few years, we have worked on reducing the
  intrusivenness of the RT patches by refactoring kernel infrastructure
  to be more real-time friendly. Almost all of these changes were
  benefitial to the mainline kernel on their own, so there was no
  objection to integrate them.

  Though except for the still ongoing printk refactoring, the remaining
  changes which are required to make RT a first class mainline citizen
  are not longer arguable as immediately beneficial for the mainline
  kernel. Most of them are either reordering code flows or adding RT
  specific functionality.

  But this now has hit a wall and turned into a classic hen and egg
  problem:

     Maintainers are rightfully wary vs. these changes as they make only
     sense if the final integration of RT into the mainline kernel takes
     place.

  Adding CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT aims to solve this as a clear sign that RT
  will be fully integrated into the mainline kernel. The final
  integration of the missing bits and pieces will be of course done with
  the same careful approach as we have used in the past.

  While I'm aware that you are not entirely enthusiastic about that, I
  think that RT should receive the same treatment as any other widely
  used out of tree functionality, which we have accepted into mainline
  over the years.

  RT has become the de-facto standard real-time enhancement and is
  shipped by enterprise, embedded and community distros. It's in use
  throughout a wide range of industries: telecommunications, industrial
  automation, professional audio, medical devices, data acquisition,
  automotive - just to name a few major use cases.

  RT development is backed by a Linuxfoundation project which is
  supported by major stakeholders of this technology. The funding will
  continue over the actual inclusion into mainline to make sure that the
  functionality is neither introducing regressions, regressing itself,
  nor becomes subject to bitrot. There is also a lifely user community
  around RT as well, so contrary to the grim situation 5 years ago, it's
  a healthy project.

  As RT is still a good vehicle to exercise rarely used code paths and
  to detect hard to trigger issues, you could at least view it as a QA
  tool if nothing else"
