In fact, the things are more complicated: some drivers do small
udelay()'s but do not use a work-queue. I was not marking them as
FAST, although perhaps they could still be marked as SYNC?
This could be handled by adding a property to struct led_classdev
for defining minimum acceptable delay. Then FAST flag should not
be needed.
Oh c'mon, that's too difficult!
Lets just have a flag whether we can do an SW PWM from hrtimer irq callback.
If we can't do from irq callback - simply do not do anything below 10mS.
IMHO a simple and practical solution.
Otherwise we'll not have anything implemented at all I guess.


I agree if we are not going to mark the drivers using delays as FAST.
Otherwise the minimum acceptable value stemming from delay value
would be required. I prefer the former.
