PWM_ST is awfully generic, perhaps PWM_STI would be a better choice?
Even that's very generic. Maybe PWM_STI_H4XX? There's nothing wrong with
supporting STiH{5,6,7,...}xx SoCs with such a driver. I'm just trying to
think ahead what will happen if at some point a new SoC family is
released that requires a different driver.

I'm inclined to agree with you, but as it stands, this driver supports
all ST h/w, so it's correct for it to be generic. If some new IP
comes into fuition, at worst we'll have to change the name of the
driver. I'm happy to put myself on the line for that if the time
comes.

"x" seems to designate the channel number, so perhaps make that clearer
by naming the variable "ch"? Also in that case the comment is somewhat
misleading.

Sure, will redefine.

Okay.

These are only used in one place and their meaning is fairly obvious, so
I'd just drop them.

Doesn't this require a predeclaration of struct st_pwm_compat_data? Or
maybe just move struct st_pwm_compat_data before this.

You're right, will fix.

I'm confused. This says there are 16 prescaler values, but at the same

missing something?

I'll let Ajit answer this one, as he holds the technical documentation.

Will correct this in the next patch.

Technically doesn't period_ns need to be converted to an unsigned long
here? Otherwise this won't be compatible with 64-bit architectures.
Admittedly that's maybe not something relevant for this family of SoCs,
but you never know where this driver will be used eventually.

This driver depends on ARCH_STI which only supports 32bit.

This is somewhat unconventional. None of the other drivers precompute
possible periods and I'm not convinced that it's an advantage. Setting
the period (and configuring the PWM in general) is a fairly uncommon
operation.

Another one for Ajit I feel.

For ST PWM IP, the PWM period is fixed to 256 local clock pulses.There is no register interface to select PWM periods.To change the period we have to change the prescaler.
We precompute the possible periods, so as to avoid the calculations everytime the .config function is called. Based upon a matching period we then select the prescaler.
Sorry but why do you think precomputing is not helpful ?

+ /*
+ * When PWMVal == 0, PWM pulse = 1 local clock cycle.
+ * When PWMVal == max_pwm_count,
+ * PWM pulse = (max_pwm_count + 1) local cycles,
+ * that is continuous pulse: signal never goes low.

So the prescaler is shared between all channels? In that case I think
you should check for conflicting settings to prevent one channel from
stomping on the other.

Ajit, if you'd be so kind.

Yes prescaler is shared between all the channels.Till now we have had only one user of PWM on the ST boards which I have used.
Anyway will add such a check in next version.

This seems to be never set to any other value, so perhaps it should be
set at .probe() time?

Unfortunately not, as the clk needs to be enabled whilst setting IRQ
state. Moving it into .probe() would mean wrapping this command
between clk_enable() and clk_disable(), which I think it a waste.

This error message is somewhat cryptic, perhaps:

"failed to enable PWM"

Agreed. I also can't believe I missed that nasty __func__ too.

? Also what implications does this have on controllers with multiple
channels?

I believe this enables both channels, but I'm sure Ajit will correct
me if I'm wrong.

Yes it enables all channels.Unfortunately we do not have the facility to
enable/disable individual channels on the ST PWM IP.

Does this turn off the second channel as well?

Ajit, what happens if the other channel is still in use?

Yes it turns of all channels.

I don't like this very much. What influences the number of channels? Is
it that specific SoC revisions have one and others have two?

Ajit?

Depends on the board type on which the SoC is used.

You're obfuscating error codes here. A better approach would be to check
