[PATCH v6 6/7] pwm: pca9685: Restrict period change for prescaler users

From: Clemens Gruber
Date: Mon Mar 29 2021 - 09:00:06 EST


Previously, the last used PWM channel could change the global prescale
setting, even if other channels are already in use.

Fix it by only allowing the first user of the prescaler to change the
global chip-wide prescale setting. If there is more than one channel in
use, the prescale settings resulting from the chosen periods must match.

PWMs that are disabled or have a duty cycle of 0% or 100% are not
considered to be using the prescaler as they have the full OFF or full
ON bits set. This also applies to channels used as GPIOs.

Changes since v5:
- Reused the existing lock
- Improved readability of can_change function
- Moved locking out of apply function
- Improved error messages

- * Because the PCA9685 has only one prescaler per chip, changing the period of
- * one channel affects the period of all 16 PWM outputs!
- * However, the ratio between each configured duty cycle and the chip-wide

- * counter range.
+ * Because the PCA9685 has only one prescaler per chip, only the first channel

+ * PWM channels requested afterwards must use a period that results in the same
+ * prescale setting as the one set by the first requested channel, unless they
+ * use duty cycles of 0% or 100% (prescaler not used for full OFF/ON).
