Hi Kamil,

comments inline.

Thanks,
Guenter

The pwm-fan driver enables control of fans connected to PWM lines.
This driver uses the PWM framework, so it is compatible with all
PWM devices that provide drivers through the PWM framework.

Changes since v3:
- fix missing "\n" in error messages
- remove of_match_ptr which was not necessary
- change error returned in case of failed allocation to -ENOMEM
Changes since v2:
- add CONFIG_PM_SLEEP around pwm_fan_suspend and pwm_fan_resume
Changes since v1:
- added documentation to Documentation/hwmon
- fix checkpatch errors
- added extra description to Kconfig
- removed whitespace errors
- include files rearranged to be in alphabetical order
- remove unused sysfs entry pwm1_enable
- changed the behavior of the set_pwm function
- when 0 PWM value is set pwm_disable is run
- pwm_config return value is checked for errors
- use of ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS was added
- removed "Not enouch memory" error message
- fixed probe return value in case of devm_of_pwm_get error
- changed hwmon_device_register_with_groups to
devm_hwmon_device_register_with_groups
- changes suspend/resume to use pwm_disable/enable
- removed unnecessary CONFIG_PM_SLEEP ifdefs

+Kernel driver pwm-fan
+=====================
+
+This driver enables the use of a PWM module to drive a fan. It uses the
+generic PWM interface thus it is hardware independent. It can be used on
+many SoCs, as long as the SoC supplies a PWM line driver that exposes
+the generic PWM API.
+
+Author: Kamil Debski <k.debski@xxxxxxxxxxx>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The driver implements a simple interface for driving a fan connected to
+a PWM output. It uses the generic PWM interface, thus it can be used with
+a range of SoCs. The driver exposes the fan to the user space through
+the hwmon's sysfs interface.

Neither hwmon nor pdev are used anywhere and are thus unnecessary.

duty_cycle is only used in the probe function, and is thus unnecessary as well.

You can add another label below to save the double assignment.

Subtle problem: count is of type size_t which is unsigned. Sure it may well be
that the negative value is converted to unsigned and then converted back to signed
on return, but it is not a good idea to depend on it. I would suggest to return ret
and assign
ret = count;
in the success case further below. You'll need an extra label for the success cases
above.

This check for ret should really be within the if() statement.
