pwm: Add PWM framework support This patch adds framework support for PWM (pulse width modulation) devices. The is a barebone PWM API already in the kernel under include/linux/pwm.h, but it does not allow for multiple drivers as each of them implements the pwm_*() functions. There are other PWM framework patches around from Bill Gatliff. Unlike his framework this one does not change the existing API for PWMs so that this framework can act as a drop in replacement for the existing API. Why another framework? Several people argue that there should not be another framework for PWMs but they should be integrated into one of the existing frameworks like led or hwmon. Unlike these frameworks the PWM framework is agnostic to the purpose of the PWM. In fact, a PWM can drive a LED, but this makes the LED framework a user of a PWM, like already done in leds-pwm.c. The gpio framework also is not suitable for PWMs. Every gpio could be turned into a PWM using timer based toggling, but on the other hand not every PWM hardware device can be turned into a gpio due to the lack of hardware capabilities. This patch does not try to improve the PWM API yet, this could be done in subsequent patches.

In Pulse-Width Modulation, a variation of the width of pulses
in a rectangular pulse signal is used as a means to alter the
average power of the signal. Applications include efficient
power delivery and voltage regulation. In computer systems,
PWMs are commonly used to control fans or the brightness of
display backlights.
This framework provides a generic interface to PWM devices
within the Linux kernel. On the driver side it provides an API
to register and unregister a PWM chip, an abstraction of a PWM
controller, that supports one or more PWM devices. Client
drivers can request PWM devices and use the generic framework
to configure as well as enable and disable them.
This generic framework replaces the legacy PWM framework which
allows only a single driver implementing the required API. Not
all legacy implementations have been ported to the framework
yet. The framework provides an API that is backward compatible
with the legacy framework so that existing client drivers
continue to work as expected.
If unsure, say no.
