If the "full off" bit is set, calling pwm_set_full_on(pca, index, true)
won't actually bring the led full on, correct ?
This can be very confusing. See below for a suggestion to make this clearer.

I think "this bit first, this bit last" can be confusing and fragile.
It is also repeated in a few different places.
Suggestion on how to improve this, below.

I think pwm_apply() is broken in the following scenario:
1. pwm_apply(enable=false)
2. pwm_apply(enable=true, duty_cycle=50%, period=200Hz)
3. result: pwm still full off (disabled)
and that is because pwm_apply() clears the "full off" bit only when the user
requests "full on".
I attribute this to the confusing nature of this chip. It's hard to keep the
chip's complete state fully in one's head.
One possible way to keep this manageable is by writing the functions in terms of
*led state* and not in terms of the *bits* it sets:
- set_full_on() should make the led go full on. So it sets "full on"
and clears "full off" bits.
- set_full_off() should make the led go full off. So it sets the "full off" bit.
- set_duty() brings the led into duty mode. So it should clear "full off",
clear "full on", and write the on/off times.
And actually, all that's needed is a single function, because duty == 0 means
"full off" and duty == 4095 means "full on".
Example in pseudo code:
static void pca9685_pwm_set_duty(struct pca9685 *pca, int index,
unsigned int duty)
{
if (duty == 0) {
/* full off takes precedence */
regmap_write(full_off(index), ON);
} else if (duty >= (COUNTER_RANGE - 1)) {
regmap_write(full_on(index), ON);
regmap_write(full_off(index), OFF);
} else {
regmap_write(off_time(index), duty);
regmap_write(full_on(index), OFF);
regmap_write(full_off(index), OFF);
}
}
static unsigned int pca9685_pwm_get_duty(struct pca9685 *pca, int index)
{
if (WARN_ON(index >= PCA9685_MAXCHAN)) {
/* register not readable, should never happen */
return 0;
}
if (full_off(index) is ON)
return 0;
else if (full_on(index) is ON)
return COUNTER_RANGE - 1;
return off_time(index);
}
I suspect that once all on/off register accesses go through these two functions,
things will look simpler and there will be less risk of getting it wrong.
To prevent a forest of "index >= PCA9685_MAXCHAN" checks, I suggest creating
an helper function or macro, e.g.
static unsigned int led_off_h(int index)
{
return (index >= PCA9685_MAXCHAN) ? PCA9685_ALL_LED_OFF_H :
LED_N_OFF_H(index);
}
then setting a register looks simple:
regmap_write(pca->regmap, led_off_h(index), LED_FULL);
