[RFC PATCH 1/2] drivers: pwm: core: implement pwm dead-times
From: Claudiu Beznea
Date: Wed Apr 05 2017 - 10:04:25 EST
Extends PWM framework to support PWM dead-times.
The notions introduced are rising edge dead-time
and falling edge dead-time. These are useful for
PWM controllers with cannels that have more than
one outputs.
The implementation add sysfs interface for
configuration. It extends the pwm_state structure
with two new members which keeps the values for
dead-times.
There was no additions in device tree for PWM channels
with inputs there.

+ For a PWM controller with more than one output signals per PWM channel
+ dead-times are the delays introduced between the edges of the output
+ signals and the original signal introduced in dead-time generator
+ engine.
+ E.g. consider a PWM controller with with the following diagram:
+
+ -----------------
+ | |---> PWMH
+ PWM signal --->| Dead-time engine|
+ | |---> PWML
+ -----------------
+
+ With no dead-time configured, the PWMH and PWML signals will be
+ complementary signals (rising and falling edges of PWMH and PWML
+ have opposite leves, same duration and same starting time) as
+ follows:
+
+ ____0 D____P ____ ____ ____
+ PWM signal __| |____| |____| |____| |____| |___
+ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____
+ PWMH __| |____| |____| |____| |____| |___
+ __ ____ ____ ____ ____ ___
+ PWML |____| |____| |____| |____| |____|
+
+ Where - 0 is the starting point of the signal
+ - D is the starting point of the duty-cycle
+ - P is the signal period
+
+ Based on the above diagram:
+ - rising edge dead-time - is the delay introduced in one of the
+ dead-time engine output signal; the delay is introduced after
+ rising edge of PWM signal
+ - falling edge dead-time - is the delay introduced in one of the
+ dead-time engine output signal; the delay is introduced after
+ the end of falling edge of the PWM signal
+ See the following diagram:
+
+ ____0 D____P ____ ____ ____
+ PWM signal __| |____| |____| |____| |____| |___
+ __ __ __ __ __
+ PWMH ____| |____re| |______| |______| |______| |___
+ __ __ __ __ __ __
+ PWML |______| |____fe| |______| |______| |______|
+
+ In the upper diagram:
+ - re = rising edge = the delay between D point of PWM signal
+ (rising edge) and the starting point of the next edge
+ - fe = falling edge = the delay between P point of PWM signal
+ (falling edge) and the starting point of the next edge
